FAA Request for Information on Aviation Safety

The FAA has published a Request for Information (RFI) concerning aviation safety, identified by docket number FAA-2026-3015. This RFI is a preliminary step to gather broad input from industry stakeholders, researchers, and the public regarding current safety challenges, emerging technologies, and potential areas for regulatory enhancement. The agency is seeking detailed information to understand the evolving landscape of aviation safety and to identify opportunities for proactive measures.

Companies and individuals involved in the aviation industry are encouraged to submit comments and data in response to this RFI. While this is not a proposed rule, the information gathered will directly influence future FAA policy and regulatory actions. Interested parties should review the RFI carefully and prepare their responses to address the specific questions posed by the agency. The deadline for submitting comments is critical for ensuring that industry perspectives are considered in the FAA's strategic safety planning.
