National Center for the Advancement of Aviation Act of 2021

The National Center for the Advancement of Aviation Act of 2021 proposes the creation of a federally chartered, independent non-profit center dedicated to strengthening the American aviation and aerospace workforce. The center would serve as a national hub to coordinate efforts between the private sector, academia, and the military to address labor shortages and improve technical training.

For everyday citizens, this bill aims to expand career opportunities by developing specialized aviation curricula for high schools and colleges and providing grants to support technical education. It also focuses on helping military veterans transition into civilian aviation jobs and provides a central public database for safety research and economic data. If passed, the center would act as a collaborative forum to ensure the U.S. remains competitive in global aerospace innovation and pilot development.
