Would Speed Up FAA Type-Certification Process For Advanced Air Mobility Aircraft The Aviation Innovation and Global Competitiveness Act is intended to streamline the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) type-certification process for advanced air mobility (AAM) aircraft. The legislation would bolster FAA bandwidth to prevent gridlock and increase transparency in the certification process. The bill would establish standard expected timelines for the FAA’s type-certification process for AAM aircraft for the agency to respond to petitions for exemptions of aircraft type, and to develop means of compliance for aircraft outside of the existing types of AAM aircraft.
