The car seat should have a sticker on it that states that it is accepted for both car and air travel.

Majority of infant seats and convertible seats and harnessed combination seats (pretty much anything with an intergrated harness) are FAA approved.
Boosters (that use the cars seatbelt), car vests, and large seats (like the Britax Regent) are not approved.
The post above details which specific stickers to look for... you'll want to verify that your specific carseat says somewhere... FAA approved or approved for aircraft use, etc.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Approved Child Restraints
All child restraints have labeling that shows whether or not the restraint meets certain safety requirements. The label has a circle surrounding the letter "e" followed by the distinguishing number granting approval, and will indicate the seat's category and mass group.
Labeling Specifics
If a restraint was manufactured within the U.S. between 1/1/81 and 2/25/85, it needs to have the following labeling to be approved for Delta flights:
Conforms to all applicable federal motor vehicle standards.
If a restraint was manufactured within the U.S. after 2/25/85, it needs to have the following labeling to be approved for Delta flights:
Conforms to all applicable federal motor vehicle standards
Is certified for use in motor vehicles and aircraft.
If a restraint was manufactured outside the U.S., it needs to have the following labeling to be approved for Delta flights:
Has the approval of a foreign government
Was manufactured under standards of the United Nations (UN).
Restraints that are Not Permitted
We do not permit the following types of car seats:
Booster seats-even if they bear labels indicating they meet U.S., UN, or foreign government standards.
Vest and harness-type child restraint devices other than the FAA approved CARES restraint device.

I even have an Evenflo Titan convertible motor vehicle seat, and the educational say it meets FAA Inversion standards for airplane use, inspite of the undeniable fact that it additionally says to envision with the airline to make certain this restraint meets their standards. i won't be in a position to think of one Evenflo form could be FAA approved and yet another does not be. secure commute!

Here's the long and short of it: As long as it has a hard back
and seat, with internal restaining straps, it is FAA approved.
I am a flight attendant: we look for these simple features, there is no need for us to check for any labeling if it has the features described above. Of course the unit must not have a gap in the structure. which would constitute more of a 'booster' seat.

Most convertibles are, all infant seats are, forward facing seats with a harness are.
Booster seats (without a harness) are not. The Britax Regent, Apex 65, SafeGuard Go are harnessed seats that are not FAA approved.
Seats that are will have it mentioned on a sticker on a side. "This chid restraint is certified for use in motor vehicles and aircraft" or something along those lines.
