Authorizes the study of aviation ownership and flight operations by the department of transportation

This bill authorizes New York's Department of Transportation (DOT) to study general aviation flight operations within the state. The DOT must collect data on aircraft registrations, flight operations, crash statistics (including causes, fatalities, and costs since 2018), and compare safety records with other states. The study will identify potential safety improvements, and the DOT must submit a final report to state officials within two years of the bill's effective date. The study directly affects DOT's responsibilities and indirectly impacts general aviation operators and safety regulators.
