A U.S. Senate and House compromise aircraft safety and certification\nbill was part of the omnibus federal government funding bill passed by\nCongress. The Aircraft Certification, Safety and Accountability Act addresses\nissues uncovered in the Boeing 737 MAX investigations and reports. General\nAviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) President and CEO, Pete Bunce, issued\nthe following statement regarding the bill: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn the aftermath of the Boeing 737 MAX accidents, GAMA\nengaged with aviation stakeholders to examine the issues raised by these\naccidents and find solutions to improve the safety and strength of the aviation\nsystem. Many of the provisions included\nin the Aircraft Certification, Safety and Accountability Act, bolster efforts\nlong championed by GAMA. For the last several years, we have been working with\nthe FAA and the international aviation community to implement safety management\nsystems for manufacturers, which we were pleased to see included in the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe compromise bill also addresses other important issues\nidentified by Congress and various technical and expert groups that have\nreviewed the MAX and related processes and are generally consistent with GAMA\u2019s\ncertification and safety priorities. These include increasing resources for the\nFAA safety workforce and oversight activities, improving safety decision-making\nfor new technologies, and facilitating the FAA\u2019s international engagement in\nsafety harmonization and improvements. We appreciate that Congress,\nparticularly the leadership of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation\nCommittee and the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, sought our\ninput on these and other safety improvements and worked with us to address\nother challenges in an effective manner. \nGAMA will continue its ongoing work with the FAA and other aviation regulators\nto ensure this legislation improves the safety and resiliency of the aviation\nsystem through successful implementation of safety management systems, needed\ninvestments and changes in safety oversight, and strong international\nengagement on key safety training and harmonization efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
