Plain-English Summary

The bill would require the Federal Aviation Administration to review and report on how well airlines and airports are following safety management system rules designed to prevent accidents and incidents. Airlines and airports would need to demonstrate they have proper procedures in place to identify and manage safety risks, and the FAA would assess whether these systems are actually working to protect passengers and workers. The goal is to ensure that aviation safety practices are being consistently applied across the industry rather than just existing on paper.
