AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Airmen Certificate Accessibility Act," allows pilots and other certified aviation professionals to present their Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certificates, including medical certificates, in either a physical paper format or a digital format. This digital format can be stored on an electronic device or a cloud-based system, provided it meets specific authentication and verification requirements set by the FAA.
