ROTOR Act

United States · United States Congress · 20 November 2025

Rotorcraft Operations Transparency and Oversight Reform Act or the ROTOR Act This bill addresses aviation safety by increasing requirements for aircraft tracking and communication using Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) technology and expanding oversight. As background, ADS-B for broadcasting (Out) and receiving (In) transmits information (e.g., location and weather information) between aircraft and air traffic control. Under the bill, aircraft must generally operate with ADS-B In equipment to provide the aircraft with location information of other aircraft and traffic advisories. Current law does not require this equipment. Current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations allow aircraft performing a sensitive government mission to be excepted from requirements for using ADS-B Out equipment. This bill limits which flights may be considered sensitive government missions (e.g., not training flights) and requires additional reporting for the exception. The Government Accountability Office must review the use of the ADS-B Out exception and the Office of Inspector General (OIG) of the Department of Transportation (DOT) must annually audit FAA oversight of operations that use the exception.  Further, the bill repeals a 2018 law that prohibits DOT from requiring certain military aircraft to install or use ADS-B equipment. The bill also requires the OIG of the Army to audit the Army’s coordination with the FAA, the FAA to establish an office to coordinate airspace usage of military aircraft and review the safety of flight operations and routes around airports, and the FAA to enter into memoranda of understanding with military agencies for safety information sharing.

Aviation Funding Solvency Act

United States · United States Congress · 18 November 2025

Aviation Funding Solvency Act This bill provides continuing appropriations to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) if (1) an appropriations bill for the FAA has not been enacted before a fiscal year begins, or (2) a law making continuing appropriations for the FAA is not in effect. Specifically, the bill provides appropriations from the Aviation Insurance Revolving Fund at the rate of operations that was provided for the prior fiscal year to continue programs, projects, and activities that were funded in the preceding fiscal year. The FAA may use the balance of the fund, minus $1 billion. If the FAA determines that the amounts from the fund are insufficient to continue all programs, projects, or activities, then the FAA must prioritize compensation payments for employees of the Air Traffic Organization (e.g., air traffic controllers). The bill provides the appropriations until the date on which either (1) specified appropriations legislation for the fiscal year becomes law, or (2) a bill making continuing appropriations becomes law. Finally, the bill permanently extends the FAA Non-premium War Risk Insurance Program. This program provides aviation insurance without a premium to eligible air carriers at the request of the Department of Defense or another federal agency, provided that the agency agrees to indemnify the FAA from all losses covered under the insurance. Eligible air carriers include those whose operations are under a federal contract and are necessary for national security or to carry out U.S. foreign policy.

Question 10940 — transports aériens

France · National Assembly · 11 November 2025

M. Thomas Ménagé interroge M. le ministre des transports sur les conséquences de l'arrêt rendu le 16 octobre 2025 par la Cour de justice de l'Union européenne (CJUE) dans l'affaire C-218/24, Felicisima c/ Iberia Lineas Aereas de Espana SA Operadora Unipersonal et IATA Espana SLU . Dans cette décision, la CJUE a interprété la convention de Montréal du 28 mai 1999, relative à l'unification de certaines règles concernant le transport aérien international, en jugeant que les animaux de compagnie ne sont pas exclus de la notion de « bagages » au sens de ces dispositions. En conséquence, les pertes ou dommages subis par des animaux transportés en soute ou en cabine relèvent du régime de responsabilité applicable aux bagages enregistrés, y compris la limitation d'indemnisation prévue à 1 288 droits de tirage spéciaux (DTS) par passager, soit environ 1 620 euros au taux actuel du fonds monétaire international (1 DTS = 1,26 euro au 18 octobre 2025). L'affaire à l'origine de cette décision concernait la perte, par la compagnie Iberia, d'un chien enregistré comme bagage lors d'un vol international. La passagère, qui réclamait une indemnisation pour son préjudice moral, avait vu la compagnie limiter son indemnisation à ce plafond. Saisie par la juridiction espagnole, la CJUE a confirmé que la convention de Montréal, en l'absence de disposition spécifique, assimile les animaux de compagnie à des bagages et ne prévoit pas de régime dérogatoire tenant compte de leur nature vivante et sensible. Cette solution suscite de nombreuses interrogations au regard des droits français et européen. La France, par la loi n° 2015-177 du 16 février 2015, a modifié l'article 515-14 du code civil pour reconnaître que « les animaux sont des êtres vivants doués de sensibilité » et que les dispositions relatives aux biens ne leur sont applicables que dans la mesure où elles ne leur sont pas contraires. Au niveau européen, l'article 13 du traité sur le fonctionnement de l'Union européenne (TFUE) impose à l'Union et aux États membres de tenir pleinement compte des exigences du bien-être des animaux en tant qu'êtres sensibles, notamment dans le domaine des transports. Or l'arrêt du 16 octobre 2025 revient à appliquer aux animaux un régime juridique conçu pour des objets inanimés, ce qui semble contraire à cette reconnaissance de leur sensibilité bien que le droit international soit supérieur aux normes précitées. Il en résulte qu'en cas de perte ou de décès d'un animal durant un vol, le propriétaire ne peut obtenir qu'une indemnisation financière limitée, sans considération pour le préjudice affectif et moral subi. Cette situation soulève des difficultés tant éthiques que juridiques. D'un point de vue éthique, elle contrevient à l'évolution des attentes sociétales et à la reconnaissance croissante du lien affectif entre les propriétaires et leurs animaux. D'un point de vue juridique, elle met en lumière une incohérence entre le droit international du transport aérien, figé depuis 1999 et le droit interne français ainsi que le droit de l'Union relatifs au bien-être animal. La convention de Montréal, adoptée avant ces évolutions, visait à unifier les règles de responsabilité des transporteurs aériens et à préserver un équilibre entre les intérêts économiques des compagnies et les droits des passagers. Elle ne tient pas compte de la spécificité des animaux de compagnie, dont le transport relève désormais davantage de considérations éthiques et de sécurité que d'un simple transfert de biens. Le règlement (CE) n° 2027/97, modifié par le règlement (CE) n° 889/2002, a transposé cette convention dans le droit de l'Union, sans y apporter d'adaptation. En France, plusieurs associations de protection animale ont réagi à cet arrêt en demandant la création d'un statut juridique autonome pour les animaux de compagnie en transport aérien. Selon elles, le cadre actuel ne garantit ni la sécurité, ni la dignité des animaux, certaines pertes ou certains décès survenus en soute n'ayant donné lieu qu'à des compensations symboliques. Elles estiment qu'un régime spécifique devrait être instauré, fondé sur la reconnaissance du bien-être animal et sur la possibilité d'indemniser le préjudice moral distinctement du dommage matériel. Certains États non membres de l'Union, tels que le Canada et la Suisse, ont déjà engagé des réflexions sur la mise à jour des règles de la convention de Montréal dans ce domaine, notamment à la suite d'incidents médiatisés. Le Gouvernement, qui participe régulièrement aux discussions organisées sous l'égide de l'Organisation de l'aviation civile internationale (OACI), pourrait utilement promouvoir une initiative européenne en ce sens afin d'inscrire à l'ordre du jour de cette organisation une révision de la convention, ou, à défaut, encourager la Commission européenne à proposer une adaptation du règlement (CE) n° 2027/97 pour prévoir une dérogation relative aux animaux de compagnie. Une telle évolution permettrait d'harmoniser le droit international du transport aérien avec les principes contemporains de reconnaissance de la sensibilité animale et de protection des consommateurs, tout en assurant une meilleure lisibilité juridique pour les passagers et les compagnies. Il lui demande donc si, à la suite de cet arrêt, le Gouvernement compte prendre une initiative, au niveau européen ou international, en vue de faire évoluer la position retenue par la Cour de justice et de promouvoir un régime juridique distinct pour les animaux de compagnie transportés par voie aérienne, garantissant à la fois leur bien-être et une indemnisation adaptée en cas de perte, d'accident ou de décès.

Question· Question écrite10868answered

Question 10868 — fonction publique de l'État

France · National Assembly · 11 November 2025

M. David Taupiac attire l'attention de M. le ministre délégué auprès de la ministre de l'action et des comptes publics, chargé de la fonction publique et de la réforme de l'État, sur les conditions de mise en œuvre de la réforme de la protection sociale complémentaire (PSC) dans la fonction publique d'État, applicable à compter du 1er janvier 2025. L'article 17.1 du décret n° 2024-678 du 4 juillet 2024, fixant le régime facultatif de protection sociale complémentaire en prévoyance, dispose explicitement que « tous les agents actifs employés et rémunérés par l'État auront la faculté d'adhérer à ces contrats ». Ce principe consacre une adhésion facultative et la liberté de choix des agents publics. Or plusieurs témoignages d'agents, notamment au sein de la direction générale de l'aviation civile (DGAC), font état de pratiques laissant entendre que le changement de mutuelle serait obligatoire pour bénéficier des garanties prévues par l'accord conclu à la suite d'un appel d'offres ministériel. Ces situations créent une confusion regrettable et suscitent un sentiment de contrainte, contraire à l'esprit du texte. En outre, des interrogations émergent sur la transparence et la régularité des appels d'offres ayant conduit à la sélection de certains organismes référencés, dont les conditions d'attribution apparaissent identiques pour plusieurs ministères. Il souhaite dès lors connaître les mesures que le Gouvernement entend prendre pour garantir la clarté des règles d'adhésion, préserver la liberté de choix des agents et assurer la transparence des procédures de référencement mises en œuvre par les administrations.
