The Aircraft Certification, Safety and Accountability Act Grew Out of the Boeing 737 MAX Scandal
A U.S. Senate and House compromise aircraft safety and certification bill was part of the omnibus federal government funding bill passed by Congress.
The Aircraft Certification, Safety and Accountability Act addresses issues uncovered in the Boeing 737 MAX investigations and reports.
GAMA President and CEO, Pete Bunce, issued the following statement regarding the bill:
"In the aftermath of the Boeing 737 MAX accidents, GAMA engaged with aviation stakeholders to examine the issues raised by these accidents and find solutions to improve the safety and strength of the aviation system. Many of the provisions included in the Aircraft Certification, Safety and Accountability Act, bolster efforts long championed by GAMA. For the last several years, we have been working with the FAA and the international aviation community to implement safety management systems for manufacturers, which we were pleased to see included in the bill.
