Improving Flight Safety: New Rules and NOTAM Warning Systems

This Act establishes a special task force within the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to fundamentally improve the NOTAM (Notices to Air Missions) system. These changes aim to enhance flight safety by making it easier for pilots to quickly absorb critical information about hazards and changes in airspace. Additionally, the Act mandates the implementation of a new, stable, and secure computer system for managing these warnings, directly resulting in greater safety for passengers and crews.
Key points
Establishment of the FAA Task Force: A team of experts (including pilots, air traffic controllers, and cybersecurity specialists) is tasked with reviewing and improving how NOTAM warnings are presented.
Enhanced Flight Safety: Recommendations must focus on how to organize and prioritize NOTAM information to ensure it is complete, accurate, and easily understandable by pilots.
New Computer System: Requirement to implement the Federal NOTAM System (FNS) and a backup system by September 2024, ensuring the stability and resilience of critical aviation infrastructure against cyberattacks.
