What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Safe Air on Airplanes Act," directs the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration to update specific regulations. The goal is to phase out the use of bleed air systems in certain aircraft. It prohibits new type certified turbine and turbo-prop aircraft designs from using these systems. For newly manufactured aircraft, it requires bleed air systems to be fitted with filters to remove oil fume components after seven years. Additionally, it establishes a multi-stage phase-out schedule for existing type designs over a 30-year period.
