U.S. House Passes Bipartisan Bill to Digitize Aviation Supply Chain for Enhanced Safety
The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the Aviation Supply Chain Safety and Security Digitization Act of 2025. This bipartisan legislation, introduced by Congressman Brad Knott and Congresswoman Hillary Scholten, aims to modernize aircraft maintenance records. The act mandates the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to create a digital system to track aircraft parts throughout their lifecycle. By replacing traditional paper-based records, the bill seeks to improve safety, prevent the use of unapproved parts, and increase overall supply chain security. The move is designed to bring greater efficiency and traceability to the aviation industry.
