Rick Larsen

We also support 'The Advanced Aviation Infrastructure Modernization (AAIM) Act' sponsored by Chair Rick Larsen (D-WA)...

In my home state of Washington and across the country, general aviation (GA) means well-paying jobs and is key to long-term economic growth.

I look forward to hearing from you more about how Congress can assist in ensuring a safe transition to lead-free fuels for GA.

However, Congress can and must do more to better prepare the GA sector for future disruptions.

To help put GA back on the right track, Congress took several steps to ensure pandemic relief protects U.S. aviation jobs and keeps supply chains moving.

In my home State of Washington and across the U.S., general aviation means jobs that pay well, and is part of the key to long-term economic growth.

We commend the Committee's recent consideration and approval of 'The Advanced Aviation Infrastructure Modernization (AAIM) Act' (H.R. 6270) and applaud Chair Rick Larsen, Ranking Member Garret Graves, and Representative Dina Titus for…

The FAA's plan calls for achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. aviation sector by 2050 by implementing specific sustainability and environmental measures.

Aviation and aerospace are responsible for as much as 9 percent of carbon emissions in U.S. transportation and close to three percent of total emissions globally.

As Chair of this Subcommittee, I am focused on continuing the movement to a cleaner and greener air transportation system.

Maybe in the course of the folks who want an $800 billion defense budget over here, they can throw some peanuts at the POTFF budget and top it up.

As the NTSB continues its support of the investigation in China, the China Eastern flight is an issue, obviously, of great importance.

Thank you again for holding this important hearing.

Can you walk through a little bit how a recommendation can go for 20 years instead of closed and being successfully implemented?

I am glad to be on today. I am glad you invited me, let me know about it.

I just don't want us to rely on the algorithms to produce the responses. We need to be sure we keep people in the loop on these.

I do want to express my condolences, as well, to the families of the victims of the Conception, as well as of the duck boat incident in Missouri.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Maybe this can be answered in this session, this question.

Dear Chairman DeFazio, Ranking Member Graves, and Congressmembers of the Aviation Subcommittee, House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, U.S. House of Representatives:

I urge the FAA to seriously consider these requests and to engage in transparent conversations with the public regarding their decisions.

My district is adjacent to John Wayne Airport (SNA) in Santa Ana, California, and my constituents have expressed concern and frustration with the noise levels for years.

And our next generation aircraft need to be cleaner and quieter.

The issue of aviation noise is not just an annoyance. It is a public health issue; It is an economic issue; It is an equity issue; and It is a quality-of-life issue.

This true story about 5G and aviation safety shows that the problem we are addressing today has more layers than a Dagwood sandwich.

I think we need to establish informal and formal communication between the FAA and the FCC moving forward as well.
