McCarty and Heideman Air Safety Enhancement Act mandates FAA review of low-altitude airspace safety policies and regulations.

The McCarty and Heideman Air Safety Enhancement Act requires the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to review and update its regulations, policies, and guidance related to low-altitude airspace safety. The FAA must consult with stakeholders, including helicopter and powered-lift aircraft operators, air medical operators, and general aviation pilots. The review will consider whether existing policies adequately address marking and lighting for temporary obstructions like slacklines and wires, and whether current penalties for airspace violations are sufficient.
