| Fuller, Coyne To Appear At GA Serves America Town Hall Meeting In Charlotte, NC, on July 20 |
| Support General Aviation Serves America Today! |
| Recently, NATA became a partner and major contributor to the General Aviation Serves America campaign that was introduced in late April by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA). The General Aviation Serves America campaign was created by AOPA to highlight the importance of the general aviation industry to the U.S. economy with the potential for new taxes and security restrictions.
As part of this partnership, AOPA President Craig L. Fuller and NATA President James K. Coyne will jointly appear at a GA Serves America Town Hall Meeting on Monday, July 20, 2009, in Charlotte, NC.
To learn more about this event, please click here.
NATA is also asking its members to support this critical new initiative in three ways.
- Showcase General Aviation Serves America educational materials at your facilities. These educational materials will include brochures, posters and a promotional video. To request a General Aviation Serves America FBO packet, please contact Eric R. Byer on the NATA staff.
- Contribute directly to the General Aviation Serves America campaign by clicking here.
- Host a fundraising event featuring AOPA President Craig Fuller and/or NATA President James K. Coyne. To do so, contact Eric R. Byer on the NATA staff.
NATA members having questions about the association’s involvement in supporting the General Aviation Serves America campaign may contact Eric R. Byer. | |

| GA And 135 Annual Activity Survey Underway – NATA Urges Participation |
|
| The General Aviation and Part 135 Activity Survey (GA Survey) for reporting on calendar year 2008 is now underway, and we need your help. The FAA’s annual GA Survey is the only source of information on the size and makeup of the general aviation and Part 135 fleets, the number of hours flown, and the reasons people fly. These data help to determine funding for infrastructure and service needs, assess the impact of regulatory changes, and measure aviation safety.
If you received a postcard invitation or survey form in the mail, please complete the survey today. You can complete the survey on-line at www.aviationsurvey.org (use aircraft N-Number to login) or return the survey form you receive in the mail using the postage-paid envelope. If you already completed this year’s survey, thank you! We appreciate your help.
Why is your participation important?
- Your help is needed to prepare accurate estimates of aviation safety. Data from this survey are used to calculate fatal accident rates for general aviation and Part 135 aircraft.
- A focused effort is being made by the FAA to improve the data quality for high-end, high-use aircraft, a significant part of the GA fleet. As a result, 100% of on-demand Part 135 and turbine aircraft are being asked to participate in the 2008 GA Survey.
- Your responses are completely confidential. PA Consulting Group is an independent research firm that conducts the GA Survey on behalf of the FAA and prepares statistical reports. Individual information is not shared with the FAA.
- An abbreviated survey form is available for owners of multiple aircraft. We know your time is valuable. If you own three or more aircraft and received several survey forms, please contact us!
Questions? Lost the survey form? Own three or more aircraft? Please contact Theresa Tennant of PA Consulting Group toll-free at 1-800-826-1797 or email Theresa.Tennant@paconsulting.com.
NATA thanks you for your help! | |
