FAA funding bill includes focus
on small aircraft certification
On Feb. 3, the U.S. House Transportation and
Infrastructure Committee Chairman Bill Shuster
(R-PA) and Aviation Subcommittee Chairman Frank
LoBiondo (R-NJ) introduced the Aviation Innovation,
Reform, and Reauthorization (AIRR) Act, a
six-year reauthorization of the Federal Aviation
Administration. The current authorization of the FAA
expires March 31.
The proposed legislation includes plans to
establish an independent, not-for-profit corporation,
outside of the federal government, to modernize and
provide U.S. air traffic control services.
According to the press release issued by the
Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, the
federally chartered air traffic control corporation will
be governed by a board representing the aviation
system's users and the public interest.
The reauthorization bill also includes language
to appoint committees and boards to preside over
streamlining the FAA's aviation equipment and aircraft
certification processes, directs the FAA to provide
more workforce training, and addresses aviation safety
issues that includes the promotion and streamlined
certification of safety-enhancing equipment.
The bill was introduced just a few days after
Congressional
leaders in both the
House and Senate
Information/Registration

expressed bipartisan opposition to privatized air
traffic control funded with user fees.
"At first glance of the 270-page bill, the AEA
is pleased the legislation addresses easing the
burdens of certification and includes language that
FAA aviation safety inspectors need more training
to perform their jobs," said Paula Derks, AEA
president. "However, we are extremely troubled
with the proposed privatization of the air traffic
control system. Our concerns include an unbalanced
representation of general aviation interests on the
board who will oversee the privatization as well as
increased operational costs within the industry, which
will be financed by a user fee scheme. Lobbied for
by all major airlines, with the exception of Delta, we
feel this privatization proposal is a power play by
the airlines to dictate what fees the general aviation
industry will pay in the future."
The Transportation and Infrastructure Committee
conducted a hearing of the reform proposals on Feb.
10 along with a full committee markup session the
following day on Feb. 11, which concluded with a
final vote to forward the bill to the full House.
