What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill lets pilots show a digital copy of their certificates, like their pilot license or medical certificate, on an electronic device or from cloud storage when an FAA inspector asks to see them. Right now, pilots are required to carry and present physical paper copies of these documents when asked by certain officials. Under this bill, pilots would have the choice of showing either the physical copy or a digital version to FAA inspectors, and the FAA would need to update its rules to allow this change.
