Aviation Safety Study: Digitizing Parts Documentation to Stop Counterfeits.

This Act mandates a study to identify barriers preventing the aviation industry from adopting digital documentation and verification for aircraft parts. The primary goal is to make it harder for counterfeit or faulty components to enter the supply chain, thereby enhancing overall air travel safety for the public. The study will result in recommendations for the industry and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on accelerating digitization.
Key points
Requires a government study (Comptroller General) on why the aviation industry still relies on paper records for aircraft parts documentation.
Focuses on improving safety by making it easier to digitally verify parts and detect counterfeits.
The study will evaluate challenges faced by the FAA and aviation companies in transitioning to digital certificates and signatures.
