and enhancing the air travel experience for passengers.” The committee’s efforts will have a substantial impact on jobs and the economic landscape of his district. Garret Graves, chair of the Aviation Subcommittee, rep- resents the southern Louisiana region, a major hub for the vertical aviation sector. He is interested in advancing tech- nologies and co-chairs the Congressional Unmanned Systems Caucus. Representing Memphis, Tennessee, Ranking Member
Steve Cohen’s constituency aligns with his history of collab- orative work on bipartisan transportation bills aimed at enhancing the nation’s infrastructure—work he continues to do in the current Congress. The leadership jointly crafted a bill designed to address
the shortage of pilots, streamline the agency’s regulatory procedures, tackle operations beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS), and incorporate numerous provisions that re inforce safety and training—each of these being signifi- cant priorities for HAI. This legislation adopts a forward- looking approach, empowering the FAA to swiftly embrace innovation, including initiatives within AAM. In a press release endorsing the House bill, James Viola, president and CEO of HAI, remarked, “The success of all air operations is built on the foundation of a strong general avi- ation sector. The House bill strengthens America’s general aviation and includes specific provisions that support verti- cal aviation. These will be critical to securing our industry’s long-term success.”
Prioritizing General Aviation
This legislation takes long-overdue steps to prioritize GA by: ■ Increasing Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funding to help improve infrastructure at GA airports, including a combined $50 million set-aside for the development of GA aircraft hangars and the development of transient ramp parking
■ Expanding the specifications for BasicMed–eligible aircraft ■ Reinforcing the FAA’s partnership in the Eliminate Aviation
Gasoline Lead Emissions (EAGLE) initiative, including ensuring the continued availability of aviation gasoline
■ Addressing the ongoing shortage of designated pilot examiners (DPEs) by requiring the FAA to establish a pro- gram or office to provide national coordination and over- sight of DPEs to ensure examiner supply meets local demand of pilot communities

■ Investing in the next generation of aviators, mechanics, manufacturers, and other aviation professionals through the establishment of the National Center for the Advancement of Aerospace
■ Establishing processes by which private aircraft owners or operators may request the FAA to block certain flight data or information of their aircraft from any public dissemina- tion or display for noncommercial flights
■ Requiring the FAA to apply all policies, orders, and guid- ance issued equally and consistently to regulated per- sons, which includes ensuring that administration officials properly document findings and decisions throughout a project to avoid disruptions when personnel change
■ Addressing both the aircraft registry backlog and the Part 135 air carrier certification backlog
■ Prohibiting FAA investigations into any regulated person or entity from remaining open for more than two years without a determination being made.
