Air travel safety would get a boost from new FAA collision avoidance plan.
A new bill would require the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to create a public action plan to speed up the use of advanced collision avoidance technology in airplanes. This plan would aim to make air travel safer by helping aircraft avoid mid-air collisions. The FAA would also need to get input from pilots, manufacturers, and safety experts.
Today, there is no law requiring the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to create a specific plan for rolling out advanced collision avoidance systems (ACAS-X). If this bill becomes law, the FAA would be required to develop and publicly release such an action plan within 180 days. This plan would outline steps for widespread use of this technology and engage with various aviation groups.
