Airmen Certificate Accessibility Act

Chamber Passed·3/25/26

Airmen Certificate Accessibility Act allows pilots to present digital or physical copies of their certificates during FAA inspections.

The Airmen Certificate Accessibility Act amends title 49, United States Code, to allow pilots to present either a physical or digital copy of their certificates during Federal Aviation Administration inspections. This includes medical certificates. The digital copy can be stored on an electronic device or cloud storage platform. The changes will take effect one year after the enactment of the Act, and the FAA Administrator must update relevant regulations accordingly.
