- “Aerospace is for everyone, and the language we use matters,” the FAA said in a social media post. “We launched an agency-wide initiative to adopt gender-neutral and inclusive aviation terminology.”
- Former FAA Administrator Steve Dickson remarked in a video posted in December 2021 that the agency would “promote the use” of gender-neutral language “throughout the aerospace field.”
- Among other moves, Dickson said that the “Notice to Airmen” system, which caused the outages on Wednesday, would be renamed to the “Notice to Air Missions” system.
