Several of NAAA’s recent accomplishments to help ensure your success include: 

  • NAAA recently submitted comments and urged members, non-members and a robust coalition of ag and aviation interests to comment to FAA’s beyond visual line of sight drone proposal, opposing that drones the right-of-way over manned aircraft. This issue is of paramount concern to the lives of aerial applicators. NAAA provides evidence-based comments to the FAA defending crewed aircraft’s right-of-way over drones in all circumstances and ensures that the safety concerns of manned aerial application are heard.
  • After much advocacy, NAAA was successful in amending the Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations allowing states to waive the hazmat endorsement for agricultural aviation company Class A CDL drivers transporting up to 1,000 gallons of Jet A.
  • After years of effort, the EPA finally accepted NAAA’s recommendations to improve the accuracy of the models used to estimate the amount of drift from aerial applications. This has resulted in mitigating aerial buffers and preserving aerial use language on pesticide labels.
  • Since 2017, NAAA has submitted over 300 comments to the EPA to keep aerial application uses on pesticide labels with great success, enabling you to keep a deep inventory of pesticide tools without unnecessary and burdensome restrictions.
  • NAAA released an aerial applicator’s Flight Risk Assessment Tool (FRAT) to enhance agricultural aviation safety.
  • NAAA and NAAREF continue to grow its education and safety offerings. The online education center, which includes educational videos and C-PAASS certification for aerial applicators who want to augment their safety and professionalism and for the purpose of being rewarded by their insurance providers, pesticide manufacturers, regulators, and customers.
