Bill overview
This bill, the Backcountry Aviation Protection Act, aims to clarify regulations regarding minimum altitudes for certain aviation maneuvers. It directs the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to revise rules to allow pilots to conduct go-arounds, inspection passes, and practice approaches without strict adherence to existing minimum safe altitude standards. The bill also prevents the FAA from taking enforcement actions related to these maneuvers for a year after enactment unless final regulations are published, and shifts the burden of proof to the FAA in enforcement cases.
