Senate passes mental health legislation for pilots and controllers
Original: Senate approves mental health legislation for U.S. pilots, air traffic controllers
The U.S. Senate has approved legislation addressing mental health support for pilots and air traffic controllers. The measure responds to long-standing concerns that strict medical disclosure rules discourage aviation professionals from seeking treatment for mental health conditions, fearing they could be grounded. Supporters say the new law will modernise reporting requirements and improve access to confidential care across the aviation workforce.
Why now: Lawmakers and aviation groups have been pressing for reform of rules seen as deterring pilots and controllers from seeking mental health care.
