To allow a waiver or exemption of certain requirements for restricted airspace if security is not reduced.
Summary
H.R. 129 would allow the Secretary of Transportation to grant specific waivers for aircraft to fly in restricted airspace during air shows, provided that federal officials determine the event's safety and security will not be compromised. Under this proposal, the Federal Aviation Administration and the Department of Homeland Security would jointly review these requests to ensure that allowing such flights does not increase security risks. For the general public, this bill would primarily impact the coordination of local air shows by creating a formal process for performers to operate in areas that are otherwise off-limits due to national security flight restrictions.
