AAM IWG Report to Congress

At the conclusion of its mission-driven research and meetings, the AAM IWG shall examine and report to Congress on:

• the steps that will mature AAM aircraft operations, concepts, and regulatory frameworks beyond initial operations;
• the air traffic management and safety concepts that might be considered as part of evolving AAM to higher levels of traffic density;
• current Federal programs and policies that could be leveraged to advance the maturation of the AAM industry;
• infrastructure, including aviation, cybersecurity, telecommunication, multimodal, and utility infrastructure, necessary to accommodate and support expanded operations of AAM after initial implementation;
• steps needed to ensure a robust and secure domestic supply chain;
• anticipated benefits associated with AAM aircraft operations, including economic, environmental, emergency, and natural disaster response, and transportation benefits;
• the interests, roles, and responsibilities of Federal, State, local, and Tribal governments affected by AAM aircraft operations; and
• other factors that may limit the full potential of the AAM industry, including community acceptance or restrictions of such operations.

Based upon this review, the AAM IWG will develop a national strategy that includes:

• recommendations regarding the safety, operations, security, infrastructure, air traffic concepts, and other Federal investment or actions necessary to support the evolution of early AAM to higher levels of activity and societal benefit; and
• a comprehensive plan detailing the roles and responsibilities of each Federal department and agency, and of State, local, and Tribal governments, necessary to facilitate or implement the recommendations developed.

No later than 30 days after the report is issued to Congress, the Secretary may conclude the AAM IWG and its subgroups.
