The purpose of this legislation, called the Aviation Innovation and Global Competitiveness Act, is to update the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) type certification process. This aims to support the development of new aviation technologies and ensure that the United States maintains its leadership in the aviation sector. Key provisions of the Act include several requirements for the FAA. First, the FAA must enhance the transparency of its type certification process by publishing a plan that outlines improvements to how it handles applications for type certificates.
