Safe Air on Airplanes Act mandates phase-out of bleed air systems in aircraft over 30 years.
The Safe Air on Airplanes Act requires the Federal Aviation Administration to update regulations to phase out bleed air systems in aircraft. Within 6 months of enactment, the FAA must prohibit new turbine and turbo-prop aircraft designs from using bleed air systems. Starting 7 years after enactment, any bleed air system in a newly manufactured aircraft must be fitted with a filter to remove oil fumes. The act sets a timeline for phasing out bleed air systems in existing aircraft designs, aiming for 25% phase-out within 10 years, 50% within 20 years, and 100% within 30 years of enactment.
