Sweeping FAA Bill Includes NTSB Authorization
While the FAA bill includes hundreds of provisions, the proposed Age 70 limit for primarily NetJets pilots was left out.

Tucked within the comprehensive FAA reauthorization bill, H.R.302, is a four-year reauthorization for the National Transportation Safety Board that includes an annual budget reaching $114.4 million by 2022. The House and Senate jointly released H.R.302 on Saturday, combining FAA, NTSB, and TSA reauthorizations, along with disaster-relief measures, in a nearly 1,200-page bill. The House is hoping to consider the bill tomorrow, with Senate consideration following shortly after that. Congress is facing a September 30 deadline to reauthorize the FAA.
