Congressional leaders are planning to provide “clear direction” to the FAA on preparing for the emerging advanced air mobility (AAM) segment in the upcoming FAA reauthorization bill, House aviation subcommittee leaders said today. Speaking during a Honeywell Air Mobility Summit in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, House aviation subcommittee chairman Rick Larsen (D-Washington) said he expects that the upcoming bill would contain a title on AAM to make sure that the FAA is properly organized to focus on the regulatory and operational requirements in a timely fashion.
