Mental Health in Aviation Act of 2025

United States · United States Congress · 2 April 2025

Mental Health in Aviation Act of 2025 This bill requires the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to review and update its regulations and policies on mental health for pilots and air traffic controllers. The FAA must update regulations and take any other actions necessary to implement the recommendations of (1) the Aviation Workforce Mental Health Task Group, and (2) the Mental Health and Aviation Medical Clearances Aviation Rulemaking Committee (the ARC). The FAA must also annually review and update, as appropriate, the applicable regulations and policies on mental health-related special issuance for pilots and air traffic controllers. As background, an Authorization for Special Issuance of a Medical Certificate is a discretionary document from the FAA which allows an airman with a disqualifying medical condition to fly under a restricted medical certificate. Among other things, the review and update must reclassify and approve additional medications that may be safely prescribed to airmen to treat mental health conditions, delegate additional authority to aviation medical examiners (AMEs) consistent with the ARC recommendations, and improve the special issuance process for pilots and air traffic controllers.  The bill authorizes the FAA to take actions to recruit and train additional AMEs. The bill also authorizes an FAA public information campaign or education efforts to (1) destigmatize individuals in (or interested in joining) the aviation industry who seek mental health care, (2) broaden awareness of available supportive services, and (3) establish trust with pilots and air traffic controllers.

Aviation Funding Solvency Act

United States · United States Congress · 18 November 2025

Aviation Funding Solvency Act This bill provides continuing appropriations to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) if (1) an appropriations bill for the FAA has not been enacted before a fiscal year begins, or (2) a law making continuing appropriations for the FAA is not in effect. Specifically, the bill provides appropriations from the Aviation Insurance Revolving Fund at the rate of operations that was provided for the prior fiscal year to continue programs, projects, and activities that were funded in the preceding fiscal year. The FAA may use the balance of the fund, minus $1 billion. If the FAA determines that the amounts from the fund are insufficient to continue all programs, projects, or activities, then the FAA must prioritize compensation payments for employees of the Air Traffic Organization (e.g., air traffic controllers). The bill provides the appropriations until the date on which either (1) specified appropriations legislation for the fiscal year becomes law, or (2) a bill making continuing appropriations becomes law. Finally, the bill permanently extends the FAA Non-premium War Risk Insurance Program. This program provides aviation insurance without a premium to eligible air carriers at the request of the Department of Defense or another federal agency, provided that the agency agrees to indemnify the FAA from all losses covered under the insurance. Eligible air carriers include those whose operations are under a federal contract and are necessary for national security or to carry out U.S. foreign policy.

UNLEADED Act

United States · United States Congress · 29 April 2026

Undoing National Lead Emissions through Authorizing Directed Education from DOT Act or the UNLEADED Act This bill directs the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to establish and disseminate an education program to provide information about new unleaded aviation gasoline authorized for use in aircraft and aircraft engines by the FAA. Specifically, the FAA must publish the information on an FAA website or a public website for general aviation pilots, flight schools, airport managers and operators, aircraft maintenance technicians, fixed-base operators, and other members of the general aviation community. The FAA must also facilitate annual education and training for leadership and staff of fixed-base operators (in coordination with the general aviation industry, fuel providers, and fixed-base operators) to ensure that individuals assisting with transporting and handling unleaded aviation gasoline are informed of fuel type differences and the impacts such fuels have on airplanes. The FAA must periodically brief Congress on the status of, and any findings with respect to, the education program.

ALERT Act

United States · United States Congress · 20 February 2026

Airspace Location and Enhanced Risk Transparency Act of 2026 or the ALERT Act This bill addresses aviation safety by increasing requirements for aircraft tracking and communication using Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) technology and expanding oversight. As background, ADS-B for broadcasting (Out) and receiving (In) transmits information (e.g., location and weather) among aircraft and air traffic control (ATC). The bill requires the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) to enter into an agreement regarding the use of collision prevention technologies on DOD aircraft. The agreement must require the use of ADS-B Out as the default practice for DOD helicopters operating in the national airspace, unless such use would affect operational security. For DOD helicopters that are carrying out special missions in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area and are exempt from ADS-B Out transmission requirements, DOD must coordinate with DOT to conduct a safety risk assessment and implement appropriate mitigations. By December 31, 2031, DOD aircraft (other than certain special mission aircraft) must be equipped with and operating integrated ADS-B In technology. With respect to civil aircraft, by December 31, 2031, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) must generally require aircraft that are currently required to be equipped with ADS-B Out to also be equipped with ADS-B In. Additionally, among other requirements, the FAA must establish time-on-position limits for supervisory ATC personnel; establish a process to timely notify parties involved in certain near-miss incidents; and evaluate and revise, as necessary, helicopter routes around Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

SAFEGUARDS Act of 2025

United States · United States Congress · 22 July 2025

Spending Aviation Fees for Equipment, Guaranteeing Upgraded and Advanced Risk Detection and Safety Act of 2025 or the SAFEGUARDS Act of 2025 This bill allocates additional funding for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for aviation security, including checked baggage explosives detection equipment and security checkpoint technology. As background, TSA collects passenger civil aviation security service fees (often referred to as the 9/11 security fee or passenger security fee) on air carrier passengers originating at airports in the United States. In general, these fees are deposited into the Department of the Treasury general fund and applied towards debt reduction. A portion of these fees are allocated to TSA for aviation security. The bill requires that the first $500 million collected in each fiscal year from passenger security fees be deposited into the Aviation Security Capital Fund. This is an increase from the currently required $250 million. This fund provides for the costs associated with acquiring and installing in-line baggage screening systems (i.e., systems that use a conveyor belt infrastructure to automatically screen, sort, and track baggage) to accommodate checked baggage explosives detection equipment and for certain other airport security improvements. The bill also requires that the next $250 million collected in each fiscal year from passenger security fees be deposited into a new Aviation Security Checkpoint Technology Fund for the costs associated with acquiring, deploying, and sustaining aviation security checkpoint and exit lane technology. TSA may use these funds retroactively for projects implemented on or after January 1, 2023.

Grenzkontrollen an der polnischen Grenze bei Frankfurt/Oder und Slubice/Polen

Germany · German Bundestag · 8 December 2023

Originaltext der Frage(n):<br /> <br /> Welche Auffassung vertritt die Bundesregierung zu Expertenmeinungen wie die der Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutscher Verkehrsflughäfen e. V. (Flughafenverband ADV), der bei der Kanzlei CMS Hasche Sigle ein Gutachten in Auftrag gegeben hat, das klären sollte, ob die Förderung einzelner Flughäfen wie Sylt, Lübeck (SchleswigHolstein) und Friedrichshafen (Baden-Württemberg) bei der vorgesehenen Anhebung der Rahmengebühr für die Sicherheitskontrollen an Flughäfen, die pro Passagier erhoben wird, zum 1. Februar 2024 um 50 Prozent von 10 Euro auf 15 Euro, rechtens ist, während für die meisten die Gebühren steigen, das zu dem Schluss kommt, dass es sich bei der Einzelförderung um eine rechtswidrige Beihilfe für die begünstigten Airlines handele und zudem eine indirekte Beihilfe an die Betreiber der drei Flughäfen vorliege, &quot;eine beihilferechtliche Genehmigung&quot; dafür notwendig, jedoch nicht vorhanden sei, und die Maßnahme daher nicht ohne vorherige Genehmigung durch die Europäische Kommission eingeführt werden dürfe, und welches Ergebnis erwartet die Bundesregierung für den angesichts der Konkurrenz in der Branche möglichen oder zu erwartenden Fall, dass gegen die angestrebte Regelung in Brüssel Beschwerde eingelegt wird, für den Fortbestand der geplanten Sonderbehandlung der beiden vorgenannten Bundesländer mit Regierungsbeteiligung von CDU und Grünen bei den Gebühren für die Sicherheitskontrollen (Innenministerium will Kontrollgebühren am Flughafen Sylt fördern &ndash; Tagesspiegel Background)?

Wildfire Aerial Response Safety Act

United States · United States Congress · 11 December 2025

Wildfire Aerial Response Safety Act This bill directs the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to study the effects of unmanned aircraft system (i.e., drone) incursions on wildfire suppression on public lands. Specifically, the FAA must study drone operations in any airspace for which the FAA issued a temporary flight restriction because of a wildfire on land managed by the Departments of Agriculture or the Interior.&nbsp;Among other things, the study must determine the number of occurrences over the last five years in which a drone incursion interfered with wildfire suppression and estimate the effects of each occurrence.&nbsp; The study must also evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of&nbsp;(1) deploying counter-drone systems to detect, mitigate, and prevent drone incursions during wildfire suppression operations; and (2) disseminating educational materials related to the effects of the incursions on wildfire suppression operations. The FAA must submit a report to Congress on the study's findings and any related recommendations.
