Title Flight Deck Training Program (FDT) Date issued 2013-05-24 Status Active
Assessments
Pou materially advanced the proposal by introducing H.R. 10303, which was referred to committee, and the bill text would require FAA to establish the program only after enactment. The verified record shows introduction/referral but no passage, enactment, or new FAA establishment attributable to Pou as of 2026-09-16. A preexisting FAA Flight Deck Training Program was active since 2013, before Pou's term, so it does not satisfy this statutory commitment.
