The General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) applauded today’s passage by the U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee of a bill that could revamp and streamline the FAA’s aircraft type certification process. 

The Aviation Innovation and Global Competitiveness Act (H.R. 7553) could bring clarity to what at times has been a protracted and nebulous process by requiring the FAA to publish expected time ranges for various certification activities; enhance the efficiency of the issue paper process for certification applicants and the FAA; and increase the transparency of the rules of the road for delegation activities.
