Summary
Aviation Empowerment Act This bill modifies regulations for pilots within the aviation sector. Specifically, the bill sets forth definitions for the terms "common carrier" and "personal operator;" and directs the Department of Transportation to issue regulations authorizing (1) a pilot who wants to share aircraft operating expenses to communicate with the public regarding an aircraft flight; and (2) a pilot who has a private pilot certificate to receive compensation for flying persons or property, and not be subject to certain common carrier or commercial airliner regulations as long as the private pilot flies an aircraft with eight or fewer seats.
