ALERT Act

This bill is about making air travel safer by requiring more aircraft, including military helicopters and civilian planes, to use a technology called ADS-B that helps track where aircraft are and helps prevent midair collisions. It requires the Department of Defense and the Department of Transportation to work together on using this collision prevention technology on military aircraft, with most military and civilian planes needing to have it fully installed by the end of 2031. The bill also requires the FAA to set limits on how long supervisory air traffic controllers can stay in one position, create a process to quickly notify people involved in near-miss incidents, and review helicopter routes around Reagan Washington National Airport.
