Aviation Funding Solvency Act

This bill creates a backup funding system for the Federal Aviation Administration if Congress doesn't pass the regular funding bills on time. The FAA would get money from the Aviation Insurance Revolving Fund to keep running at the same level as the previous year, with air traffic controllers getting priority for pay if there isn't enough money. The bill also makes permanent a program that provides free war risk insurance to airlines when they fly missions for the Defense Department or other federal agencies for national security purposes.
