Air Tour and Sport Parachuting Safety Improvement Act of 2023

This bill requires commercial air tour operators (like sightseeing flight companies) to obtain FAA certificates by 2026, implement safety management systems, and add specific training on avoiding terrain hazards and instrument meteorological conditions. It also creates a committee to develop new safety rules for sport parachute operations, focusing on aircraft maintenance, pilot training, and emergency procedures. Existing operators get a 5-year transition period to comply with the new certificate requirements. The bill mandates reports on certification processes and sets deadlines for the FAA to issue final safety rules within three years.
