Call on the FAA to pause its AI air traffic management rollout until it provides safety testing information and accountability answers.

“When Maryland families board a plane, they deserve to know that every system guiding their flight has been thoroughly tested and that the people keeping them safe have the training they need,” said Congresswoman McClain Delaney . “After the devastating crash over DCA that took 67 lives, the FAA owes this region answers. I support modernizing our aviation systems, but passenger safety must come first. I’m calling on the FAA to pause this rollout, show us the safety testing, and explain who is accountable when something goes wrong.”

McClain Delaney said she is calling on the FAA to pause the SMART AI rollout and provide safety testing and accountability information.
