The Secretary of Transportation shall establish a program to allow commercial entities to operate space training flights using aircraft with valid airworthiness certificates, including those in an experimental category, issued by the Federal Aviation Administration. A space training flight operating under the program shall not be subject to— the aircraft certification requirements of part 121 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations; and the prohibition on the operation of aircraft with experimental certificates carrying persons or property for compensation or hire under part 91 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations. A space training flight is eligible for the exemptions under subsection
(b)if— such flight originates and terminates at an FAA-licensed spaceport; the commercial entity operating the space training flight provides written notification to all passengers describing the exemptions such flight qualifies for under this section; and all passengers of the flight provide the commercial entity with written consent. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit a commercial entity from operating a flight using an experimental aircraft if such operation is otherwise permitted by law.
