OpSpecs Not Required for Part 137 Operators

Word Still Not to All FAA FSDOs

NAAA is still receiving questions from operators throughout the country about FAA Operations Specifications (OpSpecs). As NAAA has stated in newsletters, magazine articles, the PAASS program and convention sessions, FAA Headquarters has told us there are no OpSpecs for Part 137 operators. An article in Agricultural Aviation magazine explored this subject in depth.

Disaster Recovery Planning

Disasters have no schedules or agendas. They arrive unexpectedly at the worst time. They produce fear of unwelcomed loss. From the start disasters force us into an unexpected confrontation of being powerless. You may not have control leading up to the event but you can take charge of a disaster. This article is about switching to recovery mode whether forced to replace a stolen aircraft or arranging the funeral of a pilot. Consider it a blueprint for “precovery,” courtesy of the NAAA Insurance Committee. Print a copy to retain for your files.

NAAA's Free* Wind Tower Safety Stuffers

NAAA's Wind Tower Outreach Campaign Offers Tools to Inform Stakeholders of  the Risks to Ag Pilots and Farmers 

The prospect of converting high winds into big dollars is an enticing proposition for landowners, but one that can have far-reaching consequences for farmers and aerial applicators without careful planning. To ensure that farmers are fully informed before making decisions about wind energy development, NAAA encourages members to participate in our Wind Tower Education Campaign.
