The Air Traffic Control Workforce Transparency Act updates the federal air traffic controller staffing report to provide more detailed and transparent information. It requires the FAA to report current numbers of fully certified controllers, staffing targets set by a new Collaborative Resource Workgroup, projected attrition for the next three years, and the count of trainees at each facility. The changes affect the FAA’s reporting process and the air traffic control workforce.

Key Provisions

  • Inserts “Collaborative Resource Workgroup (CRWG)” into the staffing standards language of the reporting statute
  • Changes the report focus to the number of fully certified air traffic controllers needed
  • Mandates that each FAA control facility report current certified staffing levels, CRWG staffing targets, anticipated attrition for the next three years, and trainee numbers
  • Applies the amendments immediately to reports submitted after the law’s enactment
