Summary
The ALERT Act orders the FAA to study lowering alert thresholds for the ACAS‑Xa system and to set up a rulemaking committee that would require selected aircraft to carry that system. It also creates a series of working groups and task forces to improve helicopter routing, controller training, and overall air‑space safety, and adds safety provisions for Department of Defense aviation. The aim is to cut near‑miss incidents and make the national airspace safer.
