NTSB Chair Calls on Congress to Pass Aviation Safety Legislation Amid Standoff

The Chair of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), Jennifer Homendy, has urged Congress to resolve its months-long disagreement over aviation safety measures and approve significant reforms. This call follows a 2025 accident and aims to improve aviation safety and reduce the risk of future midair collisions. The proposed House legislation includes requirements for collision-prevention technologies on military aircraft and collision-mitigation technologies for civilian planes and helicopters.
