What organization publishes industry research and best practices?

• A. National Institute of Standards and Technology
• B. FAA
• C. National Safe Skies
• D. ICAO

Answer: (C)

National Safe Skies is the organization that focuses on aviation safety research and sharing industry best practices with stakeholders, which is exactly what “publishes industry research and best practices” implies. The other organizations have different primary roles: NIST develops broad standards and guidelines across many sectors, not specifically industry research and best practices within aviation; the FAA operates as a regulatory agency, issuing rules and overseeing safety rather than publishing industry research; and ICAO sets international standards and recommended practices and provides guidance, but its emphasis is on international regulation rather than disseminating industry-specific research and best practices.
