To direct the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration to improve and expand electronic filing capabilities for Federal Aviation Administration Form 337, and for other purposes.

Key Points

• This bill requires the FAA to upgrade its digital systems so mechanics and repair shops can submit aircraft repair forms electronically. These forms, known as Form 337, are used to document major repairs or changes made to an airplane.
• The FAA would have one year to create secure digital connections that allow private software companies to link directly to the government filing system. This would let repair shops use their own business software to send records to the FAA instead of using paper or manual uploads.
• Using these new digital tools would be completely voluntary. The bill specifically states that the government cannot force people to use the electronic system or add any new record-keeping rules for those who choose to use it.
• The FAA must include strong cybersecurity and privacy protections for these systems. Personal information about aircraft owners and mechanics cannot be shared with the public or used for marketing and surveillance purposes.
