Bill Summary

AN ACT Amending section 28-8601, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to advanced air mobility.

AI Summary

This bill amends Arizona law to include "ultralight vehicle" within the definition of "advanced air mobility," which refers to air transportation systems primarily using electric aircraft for urban or regional travel. The bill specifically defines an ultralight vehicle as a single-occupant aircraft without an airworthiness certificate, and if powered, it must weigh less than 254 pounds empty, have a fuel capacity of no more than five gallons, and meet specific speed and stall speed requirements. This change aims to broaden the scope of advanced air mobility to encompass these lighter, simpler aircraft.
