NAAA, with the support of several Allied members, is offering three scholarship programs in 2025, totaling $34,000 in scholarship funds. Whether you’re a student, an aspiring ag pilot, or an ag pilot interested in turbine training, we have scholarship funds for you!
NAAA joined multiple food and agricultural organizations in communications to the USDA, EPA and the Department of Health of Human Services (HHS) cabinet officials the importance of a regulatory environment based on sound science and modern ag production techniques, including the judicious use of pesticides, to provide a needed supply of healthy foods and protect human health.
Last week, NAAA operator members, Seth and Lori Venable of R & S Flying Service in Bowie, TX, hosted a key meeting with their local Montague County’s Emergency Management Director and representatives from every fire station in the county. The event, catered by the Venables, aimed to foster collaboration between aerial applicators and local emergency services.
NAAA joined a coalition of over a dozen general aviation stakeholders in a letter to U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, urging them to work together with general aviation industry stakeholders to minimize disruptions to the aviation supply chain.
NAAA has been made aware that some FAA inspectors are still mistakenly suggesting that Part 137 operations are subject to OpSpecs. The confusion revolves around the use of the LOA A003 form.
The application is now open to become a 2025 Certified-Professional Aerial Applicator Safety Steward (C-PAASS). This annual, individual certification for ag pilots, both operator and non-operator, serves to recognize a strong commitment to safety, professionalism and the pursuit of continuous improvement.
