Occurrences

The legislation would establish a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) training program that allows air traffic controllers to observe pilots during actual flights... The FLIGHT DECK Act gives controllers that same opportunity in the cockpit, helping pilots and controllers better understand each other’s responsibilities, challenges, and workload.

Bresnahan helped introduce the FLIGHT DECK Act, which would create FAA training for air traffic controllers to observe pilots during real flights so both sides better understand each other's work.

Bresnahan fulfilled the specific promise to support the FLIGHT DECK Act by joining Reps. Pou and Scholten in introducing H.R. 10303 during his current House term and publicly backing the bill. The underlying FAA cockpit-observation training program has not yet been enacted, but the claim is framed as support for the Act rather than a promise to secure final passage.
