F-AIR Act

Fairness in Airspace Includes Residents Act or the F-AIR Act

This bill revises the priorities of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in developing plans and policy for the use of navigable airspace.

Specifically, the FAA must ensure (1) the safety of aircraft as a primary priority in developing such plans and policy; and (2) the minimization of the impact of aviation noise, and other health impacts, on residents and communities, and other impacts of the use of airspace on the environment as a secondary priority on an equal basis with the efficient use of airspace.

The F-AIR Act, also known as Bill 117 HR 4925, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to address issues related to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the regulation of the aviation industry.

The F-AIR Act aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the FAA by streamlining the regulatory process and reducing unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles. It also seeks to enhance safety measures within the aviation industry by implementing stricter guidelines and standards for aircraft maintenance and operation.

Additionally, the F-AIR Act includes provisions for increasing funding for the FAA in order to support the agency's operations and modernize its infrastructure. This funding would be used to upgrade air traffic control systems, improve airport security measures, and enhance training programs for aviation personnel. Overall, the F-AIR Act is designed to promote the growth and development of the aviation industry while ensuring the safety and security of passengers and crew members. It is currently being reviewed by Congress and may undergo further revisions before being passed into law.
