This bipartisan legislation first passed out of the House in 2022 and is being reintroduced to improve American aviation and expand the diversity of the aviation workforce.\n\nThe NCAA focuses on key areas including aviation and aerospace STEM curriculum for students, aviation workforce development, and providing a critical forum for cross-disciplinary collaboration. The NCAA will also help the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to continue its focus on safety, certification, and air traffic operations, and it will improve the diversity and quality of the aviation workforce across military, passenger, general and unmanned aviation sectors.\n\n\u201cMy bill will launch a new era for the aviation industry,\u201d said Congressman Carson. \u201cIn order to take aviation into the next generation, we must work to diversify and strengthen its workforce. The aviation industry drives our economy, including in my home state of Indiana, and the National Center for the Advancement of Aviation Act will expand opportunities and improve the expertise needed to keep American skies the safest in the world.\u201d\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s crucial that we strengthen and promote interest in aviation industry professions,\u201d said Congressman Stauber. \u201cI\u2019m proud to join Rep. Carson in introducing the National Center for the Advancement of Aviation Act. This center will facilitate training and professional development of our aviation workforce, improve collaboration across the industry, and boost innovation in American flight. It is my hope we can get this legislation across the finish line to honor the late Congressman Don Young who was such a steadfast champion of this bill.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T23:44:29Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://carson.house.gov/media/press-releases/reps-carson-stauber-introduce-bipartisan-legislation-advancing-aviation"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.576747978106141, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
