Aero-News Quote of the Day
“This is a big victory for general aviation pilots all across the country. The Pilot’s Bill of Rights 2 addresses many of the concerns these pilots have brought to my attention first hand at events like Airventure each year held in Oshkosh, Wisconsin since the first Pilot’s Bill of Rights was signed into law in 2012. Currently, the FAA’s medical certification process is bureaucratic, burdensome and discourages pilots from disclosing and treating medical conditions that could impact their ability to fly. This legislation reforms the medical certification process for general aviation pilots in a way that will increase pilots’ knowledge of risk while demanding treatment of identified conditions. This bill also increases due process protections for pilots, ensuring the FAA treats them in a fair and equitable manner. I appreciate Senator Manchin, Chairman Thune and Ranking Member Nelson for working with me on this legislation, and I am pleased the Senate has
passed this important bill.”
