To whom would you complain if you believed the FAA had exceeded its authority, either as a matter of general rulemaking/policy, or in a specific case?

The legislative branch, because the FAA's rulemaking authority represents a delegation of legislative (i.e., Congressional) authority to "make" the laws--and thus the legislature retains a great deal of power to reshape the scope of the FAA's authority, at least prospectively.

The executive branch, because the FAA is part of an executive branch administrative agency, and is responsible for "enforcing" the laws, just as the executive branch's constitutional purpose generally is the "execution" of laws made by the legislative body. Thus, the President has a great deal of authority to control exactly how the FAA carries out specific duties.

The judicial branch, because the federal courts interpret the laws, and decide specific disputes concerning federal law issues (i.e., when all appeal options within the agency have been exhausted).

Any or all of the above--i.e., depending on the specific subject matter of the complaint.

Answer: The executive branch, because FAA is part of the executive branch administrative agency, and is responsible for 'enforcing' the laws, just as the executive branch's constitutional purpose generally is the 'execution' of laws made by the legislative body. Thus, the president has a great deal of authority to control exactly how the FAA carries specific duties.

Summary: As we know that FAA is an agency under Department of Transportation(DOT), so DOT is responsible for the operations, management, security, regulation and legislative administartion of the civil aviation in the US.So any complains about the FAA are to be communicated to DOT. DOT is an executive branch cabinet level agency, so any queries and complaints regarding FAA would be addressed by the executive branch. As the office of management and budget (OMB) primary mission is to serve and implement the Presidents vision, the President has a direct authority in controlling and addressing any vilolations in FAA's duties.
