“We ask an enormous amount of our air traffic controllers while our aviation system faces serious staffing and broader infrastructure challenges. Our bipartisan FLIGHT DECK bill will give controllers another tool to do their jobs and represents a practical way to strengthen communication between the people most responsible for keeping American skies the safest on earth.”

Title Flight Deck Training Program (FDT) Date issued 2013-05-24 Status Active

Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): FAA records show a preexisting active Flight Deck Training Program order, but this predates Pou’s term and does not establish enactment of H.R. 10303’s statutory directive.

Assessments

Public state: pending As of 2026-09-16 · verified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. unknown A for effort

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.
