“The air traffic system should use newer tracking and collision-warning tools to improve safety, but changes should be tested carefully.”
1 bill on this topic
“Aircraft should use reliable tracking and warning equipment so pilots and air traffic controllers can see nearby traffic and avoid collisions.”
2 bills on this topic
“Aircraft that already broadcast their location should also have equipment that lets pilots see nearby traffic, but the cost and rollout rules matter.”
1 bill on this topic
“The FAA should report to Congress on airport radar that detects flying objects that do not cooperate with normal tracking, including funding needs, whether to maintain or replace older systems, how commercial airports could detect drones, balloons, aircraft, and other objects, and what support older radar models still need.”
1 bill on this topic
“Congress should require a clear federal plan for airport radar and drone detection before making bigger long-term decisions.”

“Aircraft that share busy airspace should use up-to-date warning technology that helps pilots avoid other aircraft.”
2 bills on this topic
“The federal government should help track objects in space and warn people before crashes happen.”
1 bill on this topic
“The collision-warning systems being studied for military aircraft should warn pilots about possible crashes with transponder-equipped aircraft and work with TCAS systems used by commercial aircraft.”
1 bill on this topic
“The Defense Department should study whether certain military planes and helicopters can realistically and affordably use systems that warn pilots about possible mid-air collisions.”
1 bill on this topic
“The FAA should have to send Congress a plan within 180 days for deploying newer aircraft collision-avoidance systems called ACAS-X and for helping aircraft operators use them more widely.”
1 bill on this topic
“The Defense Department should work with the Federal Aviation Administration while studying collision warning systems for military aircraft.”
1 bill on this topic
“After studying ACAS-X, the FAA should be able to recommend agency actions, rule changes, or new laws to support deployment, and should be allowed, but not required, to start carrying out parts of the plan.”
1 bill on this topic
“Government aircraft should be allowed to hide their location only for truly sensitive missions, and that exception should be closely watched.”
1 bill on this topic
“The FAA should work with foreign aviation agencies so ACAS-X certification standards can line up across countries.”
1 bill on this topic
“The collision-warning study should apply only to military aircraft based at or near commercial service airports that regularly fly in nearby Class B, Class C, or Class D airspace.”
1 bill on this topic
“Military aircraft that share crowded airspace with civilian flights should follow strong safety rules while protecting sensitive missions.”
1 bill on this topic
“The FAA should have to make the ACAS-X plan public within 10 days after sending it to Congress, so pilots, operators, manufacturers, passengers, and other interested people can read it.”
One sentence is enough. Tell officials how this affects your family, work, bills, neighborhood, or values so the message sounds like you.
Example: My daughter's school closed twice last fall because of wildfire smoke.
