Saracini Enhanced Aviation Safety Act of 2023
This bill requires commercial airlines operating passenger flights (specifically aircraft under FAA Part 121 regulations) to install secondary cockpit barriers within 18 months of the law's enactment. The mandate applies directly to airlines operating scheduled passenger services on aircraft covered by the regulation. The key provision is a new FAA order requiring these physical barriers, which are designed to prevent unauthorized access to the cockpit. The law aims to enhance cockpit security by adding a second physical barrier to existing aircraft.
