The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is experiencing a significant leadership void after the abrupt resignation of its former chief, pressured by Elon Musk just days before a fatal plane and helicopter crash in Washington, D.C. In response to the crisis, Trump has appointed Chris Rocheleau as the acting FAA administrator. The FAA is currently under scrutiny as it investigates the circumstances surrounding the deadly incident while navigating a turbulent period marked by a lack of clear leadership. Flights have resumed at Reagan Airport, but concerns remain about the direction of the agency amid this aviation disaster.
