United States · United States Congress · 17 November 2021

Airline Passengers' Bill of Rights This bill expands protections for passengers in air transportation. Among other things, the bill requires the Department of Transportation to implement regulations relating to protections for airline passengers from being required to involuntarily relinquish their seats, unless necessary for safety or security; the elimination of the dollar limitations on compensation to passengers denied boarding due to overbooking; compensation to passengers for delayed or cancelled flights; interline agreements between air carriers and other transportation providers; training on the rights of passengers; unreasonable air carrier fees; unrestricted access of consumers to information on schedules, fares, fees, and taxes; accuracy in pricing of tickets and disclosure of lowest fares; and notifications to passengers of their rights and eligibility for refunds. The Federal Aviation Administration must (1) prohibit any air carrier from reducing seat size or leg room, and (2) report on the quality of food and potable water on passenger aircraft and the sufficiency of flight crews and aircraft. The bill provides a private right of action for passengers aggrieved by airline actions and increases civil penalties on air carriers for violations of passenger protections.

Question 38912 — transports aériens

France · National Assembly · 4 November 2021

M. Bernard Bouley attire l'attention de M. le ministre délégué auprès de la ministre de la transition écologique, chargé des transports, sur la possible dégradation des conditions d'exploitation de l'aérodrome d'Étampes. Son activité semble menacée par un projet selon lequel un AFIS remplacerait le contrôle aérien diurne permanent, tel qu'aujourd'hui pratiqué. L'ensemble des usagers, représenté par le Groupement des utilisateurs de l'aérodrome d'Étampes-Mondésir, s'inquiète d'une telle éventualité qui représenterait une remise en cause de la sécurité de l'activité aérienne et engendrerait un risque de baisse de l'activité sur ce site. Pourtant, l'aérodrome d'Étampes-Mondésir est l'un des berceaux historiques de l'aviation française. En 1910, s'y est installée l'école de Farman et de Blériot. Sur cet aérodrome est née la patrouille d'Étampes, devenue Patrouille de France, fierté nationale connue dans le monde entier. L'aérodrome d'Étampes-Mondésir bénéficie aujourd'hui d'installations importantes : deux pistes, une tour de contrôle récemment dotée d'une visualisation radar, un aéroclub, une école de formation ULM, des sociétés de maintenance, un terrain d'entraînement du GIGN, ... L'activité du site est en plein essor. Avions mono et bimoteurs, hélicoptères, ULM, autogyres et planeurs se côtoient quotidiennement sur l'aérodrome. On recense près de 65 000 mouvements par an dont 45 000 pour les aéronefs basés. Étampes-Mondésir est ainsi la plus grande plateforme régionale du sud de l'Île-de-France. Beaucoup de pilotes de ligne ont découvert leur passion de l'aviation et fait leurs premières armes de pilotage sur cet aérodrome. 45 % des mouvements sur l'aérodrome d'Étampes-Mondésir sont liés à la formation de pilotes débutants. Compte-tenu de ce contexte historique et de l'activité même du site, il lui demande si le Gouvernement entend intervenir auprès de la direction générale de l'aviation civile afin que le contrôle aérien diurne soit maintenu de manière pérenne sur l'aérodrome d'Étampes-Mondésir afin de garantir l'essor de ce fleuron du patrimoine historique vivant de l'aviation.

Question 38801 — enseignement

France · National Assembly · 4 November 2021

M. Christophe Blanchet interroge M. le ministre de l'éducation nationale, de la jeunesse et des sports sur l'application effective du protocole interministériel développant les liens entre la jeunesse, la défense et la sécurité nationale de mai 2016. Ce protocole rappelle en préambule que « la mission de l'éducation nationale est d'assurer sous la conduite des maîtres et des professeurs, une éducation globale visant à former des futurs citoyens responsables, prêts à contribuer au développement et au rayonnement de leur pays (...). L'éducation est un acte global qui n'est pas réductible aux activités scolaires, l'esprit de défense est une attitude civique qui n'est pas limitée aux activités militaires ». Articulé autour de onze mesures de la « grande mobilisation de l'école pour les valeurs de la République » et de la création d'une réserve citoyenne de l'éducation nationale, il appelle « les acteurs de la sécurité [...] à apporter à cette mobilisation leur connaissance des enjeux de ce combat et le témoignage de leur engagement au service de la Nation ». Pourtant, depuis cinq ans que ce protocole est en place, les effets qu'il est censé avoir produits ne sont pas perceptibles. Avec le recul, qu'en est-il des activités proposées par les trinômes académiques ? Qu'y a-t-il réellement, aujourd'hui, comme enseignement de défense dispensé par l'éducation nationale ? Les cinq axes d'efforts retenus ont-ils été évalués ? Enfin, il lui demande si ce protocole ne devrait pas être actualisé, notamment pour prendre en compte la mise en œuvre du service national universel.

Question 38779 — défense

France · National Assembly · 4 November 2021

M. Nicolas Dupont-Aignan appelle l'attention de Mme la ministre des armées sur la succession du porte-avions Charles de Gaulle. En effet, les porte-avions américains, chinois, russes, indiens et même britanniques étant de grands navires, entre 280 et 333 mètres de long et ayant une vitesse de plus de 30 nœuds avec une capacité se situant entre 50 et 90 appareils embarqués, il convient de s'assurer que ses successeurs puissent rivaliser avec leurs homologues des autres grandes puissances maritimes compte tenu du vaste territoire ultramarin français à défendre. Or, bien que le Charles de Gaulle puisse embarquer 36 chasseurs, 2 Hawkeye et 5 hélicoptères, il est prévu que ses éventuels deux futurs successeurs n'embarqueront que 32 chasseurs ainsi que 2 Hawkeye, trois hélicoptères et des drones. Dès lors, avec 40 à 45 mètres de longueur en plus, chacun de ces deux futurs porte-avions embarquera moins de chasseurs que leur aîné pourtant plus petit. Aussi, compte tenu de la taille des deux futurs porte-avions, il conviendrait dès à présent de porter la surface du hangar aviation à plus de 6000 m2, afin de porter le nombre potentiel de chasseurs embarqués à plus de 50 (d'autant plus que les SCAF seront plus grands que les Rafale). Par ailleurs, il conviendrait que le pont plat soit suffisamment large de chaque côté de la piste à la poupe pour garer un maximum d'avions. Il faudrait également au moins trois catapultes électromagnétiques et trois ascenseurs, ainsi qu'une bonne protection rapprochée et une vitesse de navigation pouvant atteindre les 30 nœuds afin de leur garantir de rivaliser avec les autres porte-avions des grandes puissances. Enfin, près de 20 ans entre le début des premières pré-études (2018) et la mise en service (2038) apparaît totalement excessif compte tenu des menaces actuelles, sachant que pour le Clémenceau (PA54-R98) et le Foch (PA55-R99), il n'avait fallu que 7 ans entre le début des études et leur mise en service. Aussi, il lui demande si ces éléments ont bien été pris en compte dans l'élaboration de ce nouvel outil de puissance, de manière à fournir à la Marine nationale deux navires véritablement à la hauteur des ambitions affichées par la France et capables de défendre efficacement l'ensemble des intérêts et territoires ultra-marins.

Question 38778 — défense

France · National Assembly · 4 November 2021

M. Nicolas Dupont-Aignan attire l'attention de Mme la ministre des armées sur le problème que rencontre actuellement l'aéronavale. En effet, sur un total de 180 Rafale commandés à ce jour par la France, 151 ont été livrés, dont 46 à la Marine nationale. Celle-ci compte actuellement 42 Rafale Marine en parc suite à la perte accidentelle de quatre avions (M18, M22, M24 et M25) entre 2009 et 2012. Alors que le M1 continuera de servir de banc d'essais en vol et ne sera pas rénové. En effet, les réductions budgétaires successives ont largement amputé le programme de la Marine nationale. On est donc bien loin des 86 initialement prévus uniquement pour la Marine, et même s'il reste dans la commande de Rafale navalisés les appareils M47 et M48, qui intègreront rapidement les flottilles, compte tenu des périodes de maintenance, de l'attrition naturelle au fil des années et du fait que trois Rafale Marine sont mis à disposition de l'escadron de transformation de Saint-Dizier, le parc paraît clairement sous-dimensionné. Dès lors, si l'aviation embarquée a certes atteint le stade de la standardisation ultime, le compte n'est pas bon. Il manquerait aux marins une bonne douzaine de Rafale pour faire le compte. Aussi, il demande au Gouvernement s'il envisage de porter rapidement le nombre de Rafale M commandés à au moins 60 unités.
