Bipartisan lawmakers are advocating for enhanced aircraft visibility measures as Congress works on finalizing aviation safety legislation. On June 1, Representatives Nick Langworthy (R-NY) and Don Beyer (D-VA), leaders of the House Aviation Safety Caucus, spearheaded a letter urging negotiators to adopt stricter requirements for aircraft visibility. This push comes in the wake of a deadly midair collision in Washington, D.C., highlighting the urgent need for improved safety protocols in the aviation industry. The lawmakers are calling for the expansion of Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast (ADS-B) requirements to prevent future accidents and ensure the safety of air travel.
