With the comprehensive FAA aviation reauthorization package completed, the U.S. Congress is turning its attention to the implementation of the nearly 1,200 directives that spanned the more than 1,000-page bill signed into law last month.

 “With any piece of legislation, the devil's in the details,” House Transportation and Infrastructure Chairman Sam Graves (R-Missouri) told AIN. “We tried to write the majority of our issues as tight as we can. But you still have bureaucratic interpretation, and you want to make sure that the intent of the law is followed by the bureaucrats.”
