H.R. 3935, the Securing Growth and Robust Leadership in American Aviation Act, bipartisan legislation to reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and aviation safety and infrastructure programs for the next five years, has earned the backing of more than 1,000 aviation industry leaders and stakeholders, including many at the national level and the state and local levels.
The bill was introduced on June 9th by Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Sam Graves (R-MO), full Committee Ranking Member Rick Larsen (D-WA), Aviation Subcommittee Chairman Garret Graves (R-LA), and Subcommittee Ranking Member Steve Cohen (D-TN), and was approved by the Committee in a unanimous 63-0 vote on June 14th. H.R. 3935 is expected to be considered by the House of Representatives this week.
Numerous aviation industry leaders and stakeholders have praised the bill with the following statements of support:
Coalition of drone and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) groups, including Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), Commercial Drone Alliance (CDA), and Small UAV Coalition (SUAVC):
“We offer our strong support for the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee’s amended and reported version of H.R. 3935, the Securing Growth and Robust Leadership in American Aviation Act (‘Leadership in American Aviation Act’). We hope the full House considers and votes on the bill as soon as possible. The bill would reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration (‘FAA’) and aviation safety and infrastructure programs for the next five years, and would significantly move the needle for the UAS and AAM industries for years to come.”
