Brian McDaniel Flight Safety Act

This bill requires the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to finalize a safety management systems rule within 180 days of enactment. It specifically mandates that the rule apply to commuter airlines, air tour operators, and aircraft manufacturers operating under certain FAA regulations. The rule aims to establish standardized safety management systems for these operators, focusing on proactive risk management. This directly affects smaller airlines, tour companies, and manufacturers who produce aircraft under specific FAA categories.
