To require the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration to conduct a study to assess whether certain aircraft certified under part 23 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, may be used in operations conducted under part 121 of such title, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB9225, aims to require the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to study whether specific aircraft certified under a certain rule (part 23 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations) can be used for operations governed by another rule (part 121 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations). This assessment could impact how these aircraft are used in commercial operations.
The study would primarily affect the FAA, aircraft manufacturers, and airlines that operate under the regulations in question. If the study finds that these aircraft can indeed be used in part 121 operations, it could expand the types of aircraft allowed in commercial services, potentially increasing efficiency or safety.
HB9225 was introduced on June 9, 2026, and referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure for further review. As of now, the bill is in its initial stages of the legislative process, awaiting committee action.
