equipment of an aircraft 7a7 ,requirement ,not later than #b years after the date of enactment of this ,act1 the ,administrator shall require a covered manufacturer to offer or provide non-required safety enhancing equipment without an additional charge to a covered air carrier4 7b7 ,non-,required safety enhancing equipment program ,to carry out the requirement in subsection 7a71 the ,administrator shall create and implement a program to identify1 classify1 and approve non-required safety enhancing equipment that-- 7#a7 has a variety of safety benefits1 including 7but not limited to7-- 7,a7 increasing overall situational awareness2 7,b7 providing additional information other than the aircraft primary system2 7,c7 providing independent warning1 cautionary1 or advisory indications2 and 7,d7 providing additional occupant safety protection2 7#b7 is determined to be a minor change to type design2 and 7#c7 mitigates a non-essential function failure condition4 7c7

effective operation of the non-required safety enhancing equipment2 7#b7 has met or exceeded safety objectives to ensure non-required safety enhancing equipment enhances safety and is complementary to required equipment2 and 7#c7 has a completed safety evaluation that considers-- 7,a7 whether the non-required safety enhancing equipment requires pilot and crewmember training1 taking into account the architecture1 functionality1 operational capabilities and limitations of the non-required safety enhancing equipment1 and assurances that all foreseeable failure conditions have been identified and assessed2 and 7,b7 interactions and operational interfaces related to human factors4 #d4 ,non-required safety enhancing equipment reporting requirement 7a7 ,reporting requirement ,the ,administrator shall-- 7#a7 require a covered manufacturer to submit to the ,administrator1 not later than #f months after the date of enactment of this ,act and every year thereafter1 a list of all non-required
