The Senate on Friday unanimously passed the Pilots’ Bill of Rights first introduced by Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) last summer, granting what the senator called “a big victory for general aviation pilots all across the country.”
The new legislation includes a number of provisions aimed at bolstering safeguards for pilots, including one that requires the FAA to grant pilots under investigation access to all evidence against them and one that allows pilots to fight enforcement actions in federal court.
