In Section 132 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, Congress requested the National Academies launch a 10-year study to provide ongoing, independent assessments of emerging risks in commercial air transportation. This project will identify, categorize, and analyze emerging safety trends in air transportation by examining FAA data and reports, safety culture assessments, accident and incident investigations, and more. The project will produce an inital report in mid- 2022, biennial reports through 2030, and a final report in 2031.
