Increased Transparency on Air Traffic Controller Staffing for Flight Safety.
This Act mandates greater transparency regarding the staffing levels of air traffic controllers, which is vital for flight safety and efficiency. It requires the FAA to publish detailed, facility-specific data on the number of fully certified controllers, staffing targets, anticipated attrition, and trainees. This information allows the public and Congress to better monitor whether the air traffic control system is safely and effectively managed, indirectly aiming to reduce flight delays.
Key points
The FAA must report the exact number of fully certified controllers needed and currently employed at each air traffic control facility.
New requirement to disclose the anticipated number of controllers leaving their jobs over the next three years (attrition), alongside the number of trainees.
