Lawmakers are set to consider a bipartisan bill to overhaul the FAA's Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) system after an outage caused thousands of flight cancellations and delays.
Lawmakers in the House of Representatives are expected to get a chance to vote this week on a bipartisan bill that would seek to fix the NOTAM system. Introduced by Rep. Pete Stauber and cosponsored by Rep. Mark DeSaulnier , the NOTAM Improvement Act would establish a bipartisan task force to review methods for presenting NOTAMs to pilots in addition to relevant regulations and policies.
Stauber said in a press release that the outage shows the "urgent need for updates and improvements" to the NOTAM system to "keep air traffic moving safely in our skies."
