Last week, NAAA and 32 state and regional agricultural aviation associations joined with 59 other organizations in letters written to President Joe Biden and the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate.
Last week’s press release cautioning hobbyist and professional drone operators not to interfere with low-altitude manned agricultural aircraft created a public relations campaign amongst agriculture and aviation media outlets.
Next week, NAAA will educate policymakers and the public on agricultural aviation’s importance and environmental benefits at Ag on the Mall, May 6-8.
The members and staff of NAAA offer their condolences to the family and friends of Justin Price. Justin was fatally injured in an ag aviation accident on April 26, 2024, in Anaconda, Montana. He was 28 years old.
NAAA CEO Andrew Moore was granted a seat on the Board of Directors to FieldWatch, the non-profit company that develops and provides free mapping tools that promote awareness and environmental stewardship activities between crop producers, beekeepers, seed companies and pesticide applicators.
Are you an agpilot looking for a seat or an operator looking for an ag pilot? The NAAA Job Board has received new listings in the past few months.
The FAA has issued a Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) for dual-seat Air Tractor AT-802 airplanes, serial numbers 802-0001 through 802-1099.
NAAA is pleased to announce, after much advocacy over the past two years to influence the bill to protect manned ag aircraft in low-altitude airspace, it has secured that FAA ensure the safety of low-altitude manned aircraft from drones, or uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) operating beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS).
