This bill directs the Federal Aviation Administration to modernize its electronic filing system for Form 337, which is used to report major repairs and alterations to aircraft. The FAA must improve digital submission capabilities and create secure application programming interfaces within 12 months to allow optional integration with third-party software platforms used by mechanics, repair stations, and aircraft owners. The bill includes strong privacy protections, requiring the FAA to limit data collection, prevent public disclosure of personal information about aircraft owners and mechanics, and prohibit using the information for commercial purposes. Using the electronic system would be entirely voluntary, and the bill explicitly prohibits imposing any new reporting requirements or compliance burdens beyond what already exists. The legislation emphasizes that the FAA should implement these improvements using existing technology platforms and cybersecurity standards without creating duplicate systems or adding regulatory costs.
