Summary
Federal Aviation Administration Research, Engineering, and Development Act of 2002 - Amends Federal aviation law to authorize appropriations out of the Airport and Airway Trust Fund for the Federal Aviation Administration for specified aviation research and development (R&D) projects. Requires the submission to specified congressional committees of an updated integrated civil aviation R&D plan that coordinates national aviation safety and security research programs of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Sets forth requirements calling for: (1) the continuation of a research program to improve airfield pavements; (2) a national initiative that defines and develops an air traffic management system designed to meet national long-term aviation security, safety, and capacity needs; (3) an assessment of the FAA's proposed wake turbulence R&D program; (4) FAA research to promote the development of analytical tools to improve existing certification methods and to reduce the overall costs to manufacturers for the certification of new products; (5) the establishment of a research program to answer questions about cabin air quality of aircraft; and (6) the review and assessment of the specific causes of airport delay at the 31 airports identified in the Airport Benchmarking Study, on an airport-by-airport basis.
