Advanced Air Mobility Comprehensive Plan 2025

Under this Plan, Federal agencies will work closely over the next decade and in the years ahead with State, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) governments, as well as industry and academic leaders, to advance AAM in the United States and beyond through the following LIFT action phases:

1. Leverage existing programs to support innovation and begin operations: This phase uses existing aviation regulatory frameworks, programs, and procedures to enable near-term operations.
    
2. Initiate engagement with partners, research and development, and smart planning: This phase brings the right people together to identify the policies, technologies, and local planning strategies that will prepare the aviation ecosystem for beneficial transformation without disrupting ongoing operations.
    
3. Forge new policies and models responsive to public needs: This phase includes actions that inform new regulations, procedures, and public programs to establish the oversight structures, funding mechanisms, and policy documents needed to guide the standard conduct and development of AAM and its supporting infrastructure.
    
4. Transform the aviation ecosystem: This phase envisions a future in which technologies and procedures are standardized and ready for mass deployment, enabling scaled operations of AAM that enhance efficiency, maintain or improve safety, and support integration with other aircraft, drones, and smart transportation systems.
