The Advanced Aviation Integration Act establishes a new leadership structure within the Federal Aviation Administration to coordinate the safe integration of advanced aviation technologies into the national airspace system. Within 90 days of enactment, the FAA's Deputy Administrator will be designated as the executive responsible for overseeing this integration, with duties including coordinating policy development, managing workforce planning and hiring, participating in international standardization efforts, and serving as the official liaison to the Advanced Aviation Advisory Committee. The bill creates an Office of Advanced Integration and an Advanced Aviation Coordination Unit that brings together representatives from multiple FAA offices to streamline certification and approval processes for new aviation technologies such as unmanned aircraft systems, electric aircraft, autonomous aircraft, and advanced air mobility vehicles. The legislation requires the FAA to establish a secure online portal allowing stakeholders to track the status of their certification applications, receive deadline notices, and submit inquiries about their applications. While the bill does not specify new funding amounts, it directs the Deputy Administrator to submit biannual reports on staffing and budgetary resource needs for advanced aviation research, development, and certification activities.
