About this file

This is a visitor information sheet for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) headquarters located at the Orville Wright Federal Building, 800 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20591.

All visitors must check in with FAA Security Operations upon entry and proceed immediately to the Security Checkpoint for clearance. Once cleared, visitors proceed to the Security Information Station on the first floor to sign in. Visitor badges are available from 5:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and must be visibly displayed above the waist at all times. Security will verify credentials, issue a badge, and contact the visitor's FAA point of contact (POC) to greet and escort the visitor. Visitors are advised to contact their POC 10 minutes prior to arrival to expedite the process. Visitor requirements include sponsorship by an FAA employee or contractor, a sanctioned reason for the visit, current government-issued photo identification with an expiration date, sign-in on a visitor's log, continuous escort by personnel with valid FAA ID, and proper display of an FAA visitor badge. The only entrance available to visitors is the Independence Avenue entrance; the Maryland Avenue entrance cannot be used.

The document also provides supplementary information including nearby hotel accommodations ranging from 0.3 to 0.6 miles away with walking times of 7 to 14 minutes, directions for using the DC Metro system via L'Enfant Plaza Train Station, payment options for transit (Smartrip app or physical card), and specific instructions for exiting the metro station and entering the FAA building for events such as Industry Day held on the second floor.

FAA HEADQUARTERS VISITOR

INFORMATION SHEET

Welcome!

All visitors must check in with FAA Security Operations.

Upon entry, immediately proceed to the Security Checkpoint for clearance. Once you have been cleared for entry, proceed directly to the Security Information Station to sign in. The Visitor Information Station is located in the center of the 1st floor entrance area, next to the Checkpoint. Visitor badges can be obtained from 5:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Security will verify credentials, provide you with a Visitors Badge, and guidance on your next steps. Your Visitors Badge must be visible at all times, and located above your waist area.

Security will phone your FAA POC and inform them that their guest has arrived. They proceed to the Security Information Station to greet and escort you. It is helpful to contact your POC 10 minutes prior to your arrival so that they will be present when you arrive. That will help the process move along quickly.
