SEC. 2. SECURING AIRCRAFT AVIONICS SYSTEMS.

    (a) In General.--The Administrator of the Federal Aviation 
Administration shall consider, where appropriate, revising Federal 
Aviation Administration regulations regarding airworthiness 
certification--
            (1) to address cybersecurity for avionics systems, 
        including software components; and
            (2) to require that aircraft avionics systems used for 
        flight guidance or aircraft control be secured against 
        unauthorized access via passenger inflight entertainment 
        systems through such means as the Administrator determines 
        appropriate to protect the avionics systems from unauthorized 
        external and internal access.
    (b) Consideration.--In carrying out subsection (a), the 
Administrator shall consider the recommendations of the Aircraft 
Systems Information Security Protection Working Group under section 
2111 of the FAA Extension Safety and Security Act of 2016 (Public Law 
114-190; 130 Stat. 615).
