A bill to require the installation of secondary cockpit barriers on existing aircraft, and for other purposes. This bill requires the Federal Aviation Administration to issue an order requiring installation of a secondary cockpit barrier on commercial aircraft.
AI Summary
This bill, the Saracini Enhanced Aviation Safety Act of 2019, requires the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to issue an order mandating the installation of a secondary cockpit barrier on all commercial passenger aircraft operating under Part 121 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The purpose of this requirement is to enhance aviation security by providing an additional layer of protection against unauthorized entry into the cockpit, which was a key vulnerability exploited during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The bill gives the FAA 18 months to implement this new mandate for existing aircraft.
