To require the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration to conduct a study to assess whether certain aircraft certified under part 23 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, may be used in operations conducted under part 121 of such title, and for other purposes.

This bill requires the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to study whether certain small aircraft can be safely used in commercial airline operations. The FAA Administrator must start the study within 180 days of the bill becoming law. The study focuses on aircraft with 10 to 19 passenger seats that were certified under FAA's part 23 rules after August 30, 2017, to see if they can be safely used in part 121 commercial air service. The study must consider how this might affect airline economics for small communities, look at foreign rules for similar aircraft, and get advice from aircraft manufacturers, small communities that have lost airline service, and aviation safety experts. After finishing the study, the FAA must report the findings to the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee.
