Aviation Innovation and Global Competitiveness Act aims to update FAA processes for type certification of aircraft and engines.

The Aviation Innovation and Global Competitiveness Act seeks to modernize the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) type certification process to better support the development of new and novel aviation technologies. The bill mandates the FAA Administrator to publish a plan for improving the issue paper process and to update delegation guidance for aircraft and engine type certification. It also requires the FAA to establish standard expected timelines for various certification activities and to report to Congress on the implementation status.
