Bill > HR4082

This bill, the FAA Severe Turbulence Research and Development Act of 2023, directs the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to conduct applied research and development to enhance the monitoring and understanding of severe turbulence, including clear-air turbulence, and to develop measures to mitigate the safety impacts on crews and the flying public. The key provisions include establishing processes and procedures for comprehensive data collection, supporting measures for monitoring and characterizing severe turbulence incidents, and carrying out research to understand the impacts of climate change and other factors on turbulence. The bill also allows the FAA to enter into agreements with commercial providers to purchase turbulence data and place instruments on aircraft, and requires the FAA to make the collected data widely available to the scientific research, user, and stakeholder communities.
