“Our approach to aircraft certification and safety oversight has changed. The FAA’s relationship with manufacturers is evolving,” agency Administrator Steve Dickson says in prepared testimony for a hearing before a U.S. House of Representatives panel, which was seen by Reuters.

Dickson is slated to testify before a Transportation Committee subcommittee.
