A few pieces to consider from a 1,200 page reauthorization of the FAA that was submitted in the middle of the night this weekend-

 

>Minimum legroom and seat width requirements.

>Federal Law against mobile phone use during flight

>Federal Law against E-Cigarette use

>require the FAA to consider whether supersonic airplanes should be able to fly over the continental U.S.

>requires the FAA to "broaden existing rules to accommodate regular flights of package-delivery drones."

>the bill apparently contains a $1.68 billion immediate allocation for disaster relief in the wake of hurricane Florence.

>requires the FAA to set up an "Office of Spaceports," according to Reuters, which will "provide guidance, support licensing for spaceports, and promote infrastructure improvements for future space travel."
