This bill proposes to amend current statutes by introducing a definition for "ultralight vehicle" and modifying the existing definition of "advanced air mobility." Under the new language, an "ultralight vehicle" is defined as a vehicle intended for manned operation by a single occupant, without a United States or foreign airworthiness certificate, and meeting specific weight, fuel capacity, airspeed, and stall speed criteria. The current definition of "advanced air mobility" will be updated to include ultralight vehicles alongside electric aircraft and powered lift aircraft.

Additionally, the bill makes conforming changes to ensure consistency within the statutes. The existing section numbering will be adjusted to accommodate the new definitions, with the previous section 5 being deleted and the subsequent sections renumbered accordingly. Overall, these updates aim to clarify the legal framework surrounding ultralight vehicles and their role in advanced air mobility.
