Acting FAA Administrator Chris Rocheleau is moving forward on several initiatives surrounding safety, modernizations, rulemaking, and workforce as he continues to facilitate the transition for the new administration.

Rocheleau, a 22-year agency veteran who returned to the agency in January after a stint as COO at NBAA, noted that he’d previously been through two administration transitions. When offered the role of deputy administrator in the second Trump administration, he agreed. “I thought I’d be able to help because transitions are bumpy. That’s the reality,” he said in an interview with AIN. “Admittedly, this one is equal to or even, in some ways, greater than bumpy. But what is exciting about it is the FAA does crisis well because we have a very resilient workforce.”
