    EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2009 Highlights Keep coming – Even After Sunset
    July 1, 2009
    — The days at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh are renowned for the seemingly endless schedule of programs and activities. In 2009, there are even more activities after the popular daily air show at EAA AirVenture, “The World’s Greatest Aviation Celebration,” at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh.

    The 57th annual edition of EAA’s fly-in convention takes place July 27-August 2.

    From aviation personalities and modern innovators to musical entertainment and aviation movies, the evening lineup at EAA AirVenture is a great way to extend each memorable day at what is commonly known as “aviation’s family reunion.”

    “Evening programs at EAA AirVenture are a tradition that reaches back as far as the event itself, beginning with activities designed for those who camped on the flight line,” said Tom Poberezny, EAA president and AirVenture chairman. “While 50 years ago that might have meant one aviation speaker or home flying movies shown on the side of a building, it has grown today to include instantly recognizable personalities, well-known entertainment and presentations that can’t be seen anyplace but at Oshkosh.” (Read More)

    DHS Inspector General: GA Operations Pose No Homeland Security Threat
    June 18, 2009
    — The current status of general aviation (GA) operations does not present a serious homeland security vulnerability requiring the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to increase regulatory oversight of the industry, according to a report released by The Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) this week.

    The report, TSA’s Role in General Aviation Security, was drafted at the request of Representative Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Transportation Security and Infrastructure Protection, House Committee on Homeland Security. According to the OIG, the study objectives were to identify: TSA security requirements for general aviation airports; threats to general aviation; measures already taken to secure general aviation; steps nonfederal stakeholders have taken to enhance the security of general aviation; and any “incidents of concern” with security at general aviation airports.

    The OIG visited a number of large and small, public and privately owned general aviation facilities in metropolitan areas where people could be perceived to be at risk in the event of a terrorist attack launched from the airports. “We determined that general aviation presents only limited and mostly hypothetical threats to security,” the OIG stated. “We also determined that the steps general aviation airport owners and managers have taken to enhance security are positive and effective…coupled with voluntary measures taken by the owners and operators of aircraft based at general aviation sites.” (Read more)

    House Vote Would Limit Reach of TSA Security Directives
    Amendment now part of TSA Authorization Act
    June 4, 2009
    - Sometimes it’s as much about how you go about doing business as it is about what business you do. In the case of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and its issuance of security directives, the general aviation community hasn’t been happy with either the hows or the whats.  The issue has recently come to a head in response to an outcry from the general aviation community in response to TSA Security Directive 08F and 08G, which require background checks and badges for general aviation pilots and aircraft owners operating at airports with any form of commercial service.

    Today, however, after an exhaustive and united advocacy effort by numerous general-aviation groups, the U.S. House of Representatives narrowly passed an amendment to the Transportation Security Administration Authorization Act that would address the “how” concerns by reining in the TSA’s policymaking-by-decree practices.

    Warbird Impounded
    EAA Warbirds of America Offers Assistance
    May 15, 2009
    - The Department of Homeland Security recently notified a pilot, an EAA Warbirds of America (WOA) member and owner of a Douglas AD-4N Skyraider that it intended to confiscate his recently imported aircraft. The Department alleges that necessary forms were improperly filed. Last week federal agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement seized and threatened to destroy this rare piece of our nation’s aviation heritage. The airplane remains in a secured hangar at the member’s home airport.

    Mural Dedication: Behind the Goggles, In the Cockpit: The Adventures of the Tuskegee Airmen
    Event scheduled for Sunday, June 14, 2009 · 2:30 pm - 3:30 am

    20 S. 39th Street (39th & Market Streets), Philadelphia. PA

    May 12, 2009 - This mural celebrates the achievements of the Tuskegee Airmen, the nation’s first African American military airmen and women. African American men and women participated in air crew, ground crew and operations support training in the Army Air Corp during WWII, and distinguished themselves in combat. Many of the original Tuskegee Airmen hail from Philadelphia, and this mural honors their contribution.

    Muralist Marcus Akinlana worked with original members of the Philadelphia Chapter of the Tuskegee Airmen to create a mural design that incorporates images of the airmen when they were young men. The mural has an intergenerational scope. Elements of the design were inspired by Airmen descriptions about their boyhood dreams of learning how to fly. (Read more)

    EAA & Warbirds of America Backs Congressional Effort to Honor WASP
    May 11, 2009 –
    EAA and it’s Warbirds of America division have given its support to two bills under consideration to award the Congressional Gold Medal to World War II Women Air Force Service Pilots (WASP). In separate letters to Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson (R-TX) and Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), EAA President and Chairman Tom Poberezny called the bills, “well deserved recognition of the efforts put forth by all the great women who supported our country during World War II.”

    Red Tail Project Achieves Restoration Milestone
    May 07, 2009
    - In the main assembly hangar at Tri State Aviation, the brilliantly restored fuselage of the Red Tail Project P-51C Mustang "Tuskegee Airmen" was mated to the new wing assembly. Under the watchful eye of Tuskegee Airman Joe Gomer, the team of restorers carefully nestled the wheeled wing assembly under the body of the aircraft and bolted the fuselage into place.

    The newly rebuilt aircraft took shape on the windswept plains of Wahpeton, North Dakota at TriState Aviation. Dedicated teams led by Mark Tisler contributed thousands of hours of effort and energy to see the restoration project to this important step. Soon these efforts will materialize into the return to service of America's Flying Tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen.

    FAA Funding Receives Another Extension
    April 2, 2009
    — For the past three years, funding for the FAA and the management of national airspace has been provided via continuation funding bills, a Congressional stop-gap whereby a federal agency is allowed to continue operations when no annual budget has been approved for that agency. As a result of the battle against user fees and other impediments, Congress failed to pass the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2007, thus leaving the FAA without a formal budget. As the extension of this bill expired at the end of March, Congress recently approved legislation extending the programs and funding of this bill through September 30, 2009.

    If passed, President Obama’s proposed budget would take effect on October 1, 2009.

    When Congress reconvened in January, the House of Representatives took up H.R. 915, the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2009, which, in its current form, does not call for user fees. Like the reauthorization package that the House okayed in 2007, this reauthorization package would continue the use of aviation excise taxes to fund the FAA, the nation’s air traffic control system, and the national airspace modernization initiatives. The Senate has yet to take up action.

    EAA will continue its fight against general aviation user fees. Members should be prepared to unite behind this cause, just as they did in 2007.

    Former ALPA President Nominated to Lead FAA
    March 30, 2009
    — On March 27, President Barack Obama announced his intent to nominate J. Randolph (Randy) Babbitt as Federal Aviation Administration Administrator. Babbitt, currently a consultant at Oliver Wyman, Inc. and former president of the Air Line Pilots Association, must be confirmed by the Senate.

    “We congratulate Randy on his nomination. As a member of the FAA Advisory Board, his attendance at AirVenture 2006 enhanced his awareness of recreational aviation,” said Tom Poberezny, EAA chairman and president. “EAA and its members are excited to learn how he will address such critical issues such as air traffic modernization, the FAA funding plan, user fees and general aviation safety. We look forward to again hosting Randy at AirVenture and working with the new administrator once confirmed.”

    Newly Organized Group, Stearman Flight, to Offer Boeing Stearman Formation Training
    March 25, 2009
    – Stearman Flight, a newly formed formation flight training organization, is dedicated to enhancing safety and proficiency in the Stearman formation flying community. The new organization is fully compliant with the Formation and Safety Team (FAST) National Formation Standards and is sanctioned to offer formation training and conduct check rides for FAA licensed pilots. Pilots who successfully complete the Stearman Flight training program will receive a “FAST” card and be authorized by the FAA to fly formation in waivered air space (airspace normally closed to other pilots, such as at air shows). To that end, Stearman Flight intends to conduct Formation Training Clinics from time to time in different cities across the U.S.

    Pilots who want to experience a new dimension in flying will find that formation flying is among the most challenging and enjoyable types of flying there is. The goal of a Stearman Formation Clinic is to develop the pilot’s formation flying skill and proficiency while he or she flies with an experienced formation instructor. At the same time the pilot will experience camaraderie in a fun social environment. Anyone interested in becoming involved is encouraged to attend the inaugural Stearman Flight event to be held May 28-31, 2009 at Creve Coeur Airport (1HO) in Saint Louis, Missouri. (Read more)

    TSA GA Liaison Could Be a Step in the Right Direction
    March 19, 2009
    — EAA and other general aviation organizations have urged the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to include industry input when designing new security directives - like the universally dreaded Large Aircraft Security Program (LASP). TSA’s recent appointment of a General Aviation Liaison could signal a start in that direction.

    Whether the agency uses the position to attempt to collaborate, or merely to placate, will determine value of this office to the GA community.

    The agency recently announced Juan M. Barnes as the agency’s GA liaison. He’ll serve as the main contact for GA stakeholders to voice concerns and pose questions about TSA programs, policies and security directives. The liaison program will also include monthly teleconferences between TSA officials and GA stakeholders. Plus a special TSA e-mail account has been established for stakeholders to convey concerns at any time.

    “We consider this is a step in the right direction and welcome TSA’s action with regard to our longstanding requests for this sort of inclusion in their processes,” said Earl Lawrence, EAA vice president of industry and regulatory affairs.

    Homeland Security Chairman Favors LASP Rulemaking Committee
    March 10, 2009 – A highly influential voice on The Hill is an important contributor to the chorus of general-aviation groups and lawmakers opposing the Transportation Security Administration’s proposed Large Aircraft Security Program (LASP). As evidenced when the House Aviation Subcommittee today heard protests from general aviation groups including EAA, AOPA, NBAA, and GAMA (
    see story), the concerns being raised resonate with objections that the chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security had voiced earlier this month.

    Bearing particular influence because his House committee has jurisdiction over the TSA, Representative Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS), in a March 2 letter urged the agency to consult further with general aviation stakeholders and Congress before issuing final rules. (Read more)

    EAA Names Tom Poberezny Chairman
    As Chairman and President, Poberezny Announces Leadership Succession Initiative to Prepare EAA for Next Growth Phase
    March 4, 2009
    — EAA today announced the appointment of Tom Poberezny as chairman of the board.  EAA’s founder and previous chairman of the board, Paul Poberezny, 87, officially stepped down as chairman earlier this month.  Tom will continue with his current duties as president while also assuming the chairman’s role.

    Additionally, Tom Poberezny announced a leadership succession initiative to prepare the organization for the next phase of growth.  He will begin work with the Board to initiate and lead a search for a new president. Continued success and continuity of leadership are key objectives.

    After joining the organization, EAA’s new president will assume responsibility for day-to-day operations and will focus on enhancing membership value and growth.  As chairman, Poberezny will provide ongoing counsel to the organization while focusing specifically on building EAA’s endowment, which will lay the foundation to a secure future.

    “It is my goal to responsibly secure the future of this organization and provide continuity of leadership,” Poberezny said.   “I’m very proud of EAA’s accomplishments over the past half century.  The organization is financially strong and ready to invest in its long-term future. I look forward to dedicating my experience and energies toward ensuring EAA’s ongoing success.” 

    EAA embodies the spirit of aviation through the world’s most engaged community of aviation enthusiasts.  EAA’s 160,000 members and 1,000 local chapters enjoy the fun and camaraderie of sharing their passion for flying, building and restoring recreational aircraft.  For more information on EAA and its programs, call 800-JOIN-EAA (800-564-6322) or go to www.eaa.org.

    LASP: The Next Chapter
    Working Toward a ‘Reasonable’ Approach
    March 2, 2009
    — The end of February also signaled an end to the comment period for the Transportation Security Administration’s Large Aircraft Security Program (LASP), but not to the industry-wide effort opposing the TSA plan. More than 4,200 comments were submitted to the docket, which according to USA Today were the most comments TSA has received regarding any single initiative since the agency was created in the wake of 9/11.

    EAA continues to work closely with TSA and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials toward a more reasonable approach to general aviation security through use of a negotiated rulemaking committee. EAA is also continually meeting with members of Congress on the proposal, including an invitation to attend a roundtable discussion next week on The Hill hosted by House Aviation Subcommittee Chairman Rep. Jerry Costello (D-Ill.) to further press the issue. (Read More)

    EAA Opposes TSA’s Proposed Rules for Large Aircraft in Comprehensive Comment Filing
    GA community united on issue
    February 27, 2009
    — EAA today formally joined a large outcry from the general-aviation community when it filed
    comprehensive comments to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). EAA’s comments voiced strong opposition to the agency’s proposed Large Aircraft Security Program (LASP). Today is the final day of the public comment period for this TSA Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.

    Although the document noted EAA’s “long and demonstrated history of partnership with regulatory agencies” and EAA’s “preference to work toward common solutions,” the commentary struck overriding notes of objection.

    “These proposed unnecessary and heavy-handed security measures would place an unwieldy burden on personal aviation. Although we all support protecting our national security, we object to how personal aviation is being singled out and undeservedly maligned as a threat. The severity of the proposed limitations and requirements vastly outweighs any threat that the operation of our aircraft might pose,” said Earl Lawrence, EAA vice president of regulatory affairs.

    EAA/FAA 2009 Winter Aviation Summit – Day Two Summary
    February 27, 2009
    — Two key issues that have been deadlocked for years appeared to move substantially forward during the second day of the annual EAA/FAA Winter Summit at EAA headquarters in Oshkosh.

    ADs and ABs
    EAA has advocated for years and a significant amount of FAA has reinforced that Airworthiness Directives do not apply to AB aircraft. But confusion and contrary statements by FAA representatives continue. Joe Norris, EAA Homebuilders Community Manager, described the resulting confusion among homebuilders and FAA inspectors. John Allen, Director of FAA Flight Standards, and Dorenda Baker, Director of FAA Aircraft Certification, agreed that ADs may not apply to AB aircraft, and that the FAA should issue a policy to address the question.

    “We are not espousing that people not correct defects on their aircraft [as identified in ADs], said Earl Lawrence, EAA vice president for industry and government affairs. “We want amateur builders to be free to decide how they will correct a defect. ADs require specific actions that may be inapplicable or even unsafe for amateur-built aircraft.”

    EAA/FAA Winter Aviation Summit Meeting
    February 24, 2009
    — In his opening remarks at the beginning of the two-day EAA/FAA Summit under way in Oshkosh, FAA Flight Standards Director John Allen told the assembled EAA and FAA staff members that the mission of the Flight Standards Division is “to enable the adventure and commerce - and I put “adventure” in there in particular because of what EAA does—of aviation while ensuring safety. That’s our responsibility.” The discussions that followed were productive. At its end, the session had fulfilled the request Allen made as the day began: “Let’s not get bogged down in generalities,” he said. “Let’s talk in specifics - areas that are solvable.”

    Among the day’s highlights:
    The FAA briefed EAA staff on recent changes in leadership at the agency. Former Congressman Ray LaHood is the new head the Department of Transportation, while several people are being considered for the FAA Administrator’s job. “A lot of our employees have had a change in the complete line of leadership above them, in some areas all the way down to their branch manager,” said Allen, “and we’re working out the dynamics of a new team.”

    The NTSB recommends that each amateur builder should get flight training in a similar experimental aircraft but pilots seeking such training are often unable to obtain it. There is no national database pilots can use to find training aircraft, and the process of getting one’s experimental aircraft approved for training has become so complicated that few owners will brave it, according to Joe Norris, EAA's homebuilders community manager. It’s a safety issue that affects tens of thousands of EAA members, Norris said. (Read more)

    GA Groups Seek Input on TSA Proposal
    February 05, 2009
    — Four leading general aviation organizations have requested that the Transportation Security Administration establish a rulemaking committee to allow a more workable security plan than has been put forth in the agency’s Large Aircraft Security Program (LASP). 

    A letter to TSA Acting Administrator Gale Rossides was signed by organization presidents Tom Poberezny of EAA; Craig Fuller, AOPA; Ed Bolen, NBAA; and Pete Bunce, GAMA. The presidents assert that such a work group “would allow industry and the TSA to work together on requirements that would simultaneously enhance security and facilitate GA operations.”

    A rulemaking group would “provide a secure forum for stakeholder information sharing and the development of sensible and implemental measures,” the letter reads. “the proposals put forth in the LASP Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) will do little to improve general aviation security and will have disastrous consequences on the industry.”

    The public comment period runs through February 27. To learn how you can submit a comment, visit the EAA Government Affairs website


    EAAers’ Battle For Rights And Privileges Continues
    January 22, 2009
    — EAA’s regulatory affairs representatives are urging the EAA community not to relent in opposing the Transportation Security Administration’s proposed security requirements for operating large aircraft. In fact, they’re urging members to ramp up their efforts with
    communications to their representatives in the House and Senate.

    Although statements and actions from the Obama administration suggest the possibility of new avenues of advocacy and debate, the public comment period’s Feb. 27 deadline remains unchanged and the TSA has indicated that it will continue with the rulemaking process until instructed to do otherwise.

    A new outlook?
    “We’re encouraged by the principles that the Obama administration is articulating as it assumes office, and particularly by the administration’s call for a suspension of regulatory initiatives pending further review by the new staff and President,” said Doug Macnair, EAA’s vice president of government relations based in Washington, D.C. “It suggests that the administration intends to marry current regulatory work with its philosophy of government.”

    Macnair elaborated on this philosophical bent, citing comments from the President’s inaugural address: Mr. Obama said on Tuesday, “As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals…Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience’s sake.” (Read more)

    60th Anniversary of T-28 to be Celebrated at AirVenture
    January 23, 2009
    - EAA and the Warbirds of America will celebrate the 60th anniversary of the North American T-28 Trojan at AirVenture Oshkosh 2009. Several special activities are being coordinated to commemorate the milestone, said Bill Fischer, executive director of the EAA Warbirds of America.

    "We're working with the North American Trainer Association (NATA) and T-28 groups to put together an exciting program," Fischer said. "Those who own and operate T-28s, veterans who trained in them, and those who simply admire these airplanes are invited to participate." (Read More)
