Proposed US legislation aims to restore faith in aircraft certification
US senators have introduced a bill to Congress intended to reinforce safety and oversight, particularly with regards to certification, in the aftermath of the Boeing 737 Max grounding crisis. The proposed legislation, titled the Restoring Aviation Accountability act, has been submitted by Democratic senators Richard Blumenthal, Tom Udall and Edward Markey – all members of a Senate transportation committee. Udall says the measure will reverse provisions which have allowed “self-certification” in the aviation industry, addressing a “substantial weakness” in the US FAA certification process. He says the bill has support from the US Air Line Pilots Association, the Association of Flight Attendants, and other industry groups. <br/>
