Aviation legislation passed by Senate

By Chris Jamele

Buffalo, NY – Aviation safety legislation pushed by the Families of Continental Flight 3407 has passed in a Senate vote.

The News reports that the bill will increase required flight training hours from two hundred and fifty to fifteen hundred. The bill also requires simulator stall-recovery training for pilots.

Family members of those lost in Flight 3407 were in Washington for passage of the bill.
