This legislation requires all aircraft operating in congested airspace to equip with ADS B in, which will enable planes to receive position signals from other aircraft, something the NTSB has recommended for decades. And Chairwoman Hamidi, welcome. Thank you for being here. It also directs the FAA to conduct more in depth safety reviews at airports with nearby helicopter traffic to better coordinate communication between the FAA and the Pentagon. And it requires the Army Inspector General to review for systemic failures that may have contributed to the January crash at dca. Lastly, I want to recognize the families of the victims who are here today. (04:32–04:45)
