The Aviation Innovation and Global Competitiveness Act aims to modernize the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) process for certifying new aircraft and technologies. The main goal is to support innovation in aviation, particularly for new technologies, and to maintain the United States' leadership in the global aviation industry. Key provisions of the Act include several measures to enhance transparency and efficiency in the FAA's type certification process. Within 180 days of the Act's enactment, the FAA must publish a plan to improve how it handles applications for type certificates.
