They called on Congress to mandate that commercial airline aircraft have and operate a comprehensive ADS-B In system integrated into the flight deck display to provide pilots with greater situational awareness. ADS-B In, which provides advanced alerting and indicates to pilots the positions of other nearby aircraft while airborne and while operating on the airport surface, is not just an upgrade to existing collision avoidance systems, but rather an additional capability. As both chambers seek to reconcile the different versions of aviation safety bills they each passed, ALPA will continue to work with lawmakers to include key provisions from the Senate Rotorcraft Operations Transparency and Oversight Reform (ROTOR) Act in the final legislation, as well as adopting the stronger Senate provisions to close military loopholes for those operating in civilian airspace near congested airports.
