Several of NAAA’s recent accomplishments to help ensure your success include:
- NAAA submitted comments and urged members, non-members and numerous other ag and aviation interests to comment to FAA’s beyond visual line of sight drone proposal, opposing 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.
- NAAA actively lobbies for critical funding for the USDA-ARS, supporting vital research that directly benefits aerial applicators. Without this ongoing research, including droplet size modeling for pesticide label compliance, our industry would face increased challenges in meeting regulatory requirements. NAAA’s efforts ensure that the science behind aerial application continues to evolve, and NAAA conducts industry surveys and updates EPA drift modeling to ensure label language allows for realistic, not restricted, aerial use of pesticides.
- 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.
