Legislator Víctor Parés has announced a public hearing to examine the steps required for Puerto Rico to join the FAA's pilot program for advanced air mobility (AAM) vehicles.
The hearing is expected to look at what the island would need in place to participate, from regulatory coordination and infrastructure to the certification and operational requirements that electric air taxi operators must meet before carrying passengers.
Why it matters: This hearing represents a significant step toward integrating AAM and electric air taxi infrastructure into Puerto Rico's aviation landscape, which is of direct interest to PRBAA members. Members can follow the proceedings and be ready to contribute operational and infrastructure perspective as the island's business aviation community.
