F-AIR Act

HR 6549, the F-AIR Act, amends federal aviation law to change the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) airspace priorities. It requires the FAA Administrator to prioritize aircraft safety first, then treat efficient airspace use and minimizing aviation noise/health impacts on nearby residents and communities as equally important secondary goals. The bill mandates the FAA review its regulations and update its mission statement within one year of enactment to reflect these new priorities. This directly affects communities living under flight paths and the FAA's decision-making process regarding airspace assignments.
