Summary

Montana Rural Aviation Improvement Act - Amends Federal aviation law to require the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), in amending certain Federal aviation regulations in a manner affecting intrastate aviation in Montana, to consider the impact of severe weather conditions on Montana's aviation public and, on the basis of such considerations, establish regulatory distinctions consistent with those applied to the State of Alaska for mike-in-hand weather observation. Requires on-site weather observers who are employees of the FAA, the National Weather Service, the Federal Government, or the State to use a mike-in-hand weather observation and reporting technique (a routine practice by which a weather observer uses radio communication to report information on weather observations directly to a pilot requesting information, ensuring the pilot nearly real-time access to such information) to correct and supplement weather information derived from Automated Surface Observation Sensors (ASOS) at Service Level D sites in Montana.
