News: New Rules on Carriage of Political Candidates Affect Part 91 Operators
As NBAA reported last year, the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act of 2007 changed the law with regard to carriage of candidates for election and other campaign travelers. The new law requires that presidential, vice presidential and senate campaigns must reimburse the person or company providing the flight at the charter rate for flights on aircraft operated under Part 91. In addition, candidates for the House of Representatives and others traveling on behalf of House campaigns generally are prohibited from travel on aircraft that are not operated under a commercial air carrier certificate. The Federal Election Commission is in the process of updating its regulations to reflect this act. Operators who are asked to carry political candidates are encouraged to review a new NBAA Member resource that explains the current regulatory environment at: http://web.nbaa.org/member/ops/taxes/carriage/wieand.php

News: New NBAA Resource Discusses Mandatory Retirement Age Rule
Since President Bush signed the Fair Treatment for Experienced Pilots Act (FTEPA) last December, mandatory retirement age rules for pilots have been the subject of national debate. FTEPA makes ineffective FAR 121.383(c) and increases the mandatory retirement age for commercial airline pilots from 60 to 65. Part 91 and 135 operators should note that FAR 121.383(c) and FTEPA only apply to pilots serving in Part 121 operations. Neither FARs nor FTEPA allows Part 91 and 135 operators to establish a mandatory retirement age for pilots. To provide more detailed information on this issue to NBAA Members, an article discussing mandatory pilot retirement age rules in the context of business aircraft operations is available on the NBAA web site. Read the article at: http://web.nbaa.org/public/ops/adm/age60.php

News: FAA Issues SAFO Recommending Use of Strategic Lateral Offset Procedure
The FAA has issued a safety alert for operators (SAFO) regarding the use of the strategic lateral offset procedure (SLOP) when outside of U.S. airspace. The SAFO recommends that operators review their standard operating procedures and consider using SLOP in certain situations. The use of SLOP is recommended when operating in a remote non-radar environment, communication with the controlling air traffic agency is lost or a conditional climb clearance has been received. Due to the accuracy of space-based navigation systems, operators can use a one nautical mile lateral offset, as recommend in the SAFO, and still be within permissible limits of the airway system. For additional information, download the SAFO at: http://web.nbaa.org/public/ops/safety/safo07003.pdf

News: FAA Releases InFO on TCAS Functionality Issues
The FAA has released an information for operators (InFO) message to describe various conditions that may result in the lack of functionality of traffic alert and collision avoidance systems (TCAS). In order to ensure that the transponder and TCAS equipment are operating properly, pilots must become familiar with the annunciations currently used to indicate failure or lack of functionality of these components. The InFO message recommends that operators develop aircraft specific procedures and training to maintain pilots familiarity with transponder and TCAS equipment in the aircraft they operate. For additional information, download the InFO notice at: http://web.nbaa.org/public/ops/safety/alerts/info08006.pdf

News: International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Language Proficiency Requirements
An FAA information for operators (InFO) outlines ICAO English language proficiency requirements that take effect March 5. On this date, ICAO Annex 1 standards will require all licensed pilots, as well as flight engineers and flight navigators operating internationally as required crewmembers, to hold an airman certificate with a language proficiency endorsement. To document this proficiency, the FAA will issue replacement certificates with the required “English proficient” endorsement. Replacement certificates can be requested via the FAA’s airmen certification Web site.

News: President Signs Bill to Raise Pilot Retirement Age to 65
On December 13, President Bush signed into law HR 4343, the Fair Treatment for Experienced Pilots Act, which amends title 49 of the United States Code to modify age standards for pilots engaged in FAR Part 121 operations, raising the mandatory retirement age from 60 to 65. Pilots who fly business aircraft under FAR Part 91 or 135 do not have a mandatory retirement age, but since some Part 91 and 135 operators rely on aspects of Part 121 to guide their flight department policies, NBAA Members should take note of this legislation. NBAA will report further developments on this topic as they become available.

News: Notice to Alaska Operators: U.S. Military Plans Further Airspace Restrictions
Great Circle routings and operations to and from Fairbanks, AK will be impacted by a U.S. Air Force proposal to establish temporary military operations areas (TMOAs) to conduct Red Flag Alaska/Northern Edge training exercises in 2008. NBAA is soliciting comments from Members on the impact of similar TMOAs implemented in 2007 and the anticipated impact on Member operations if this current TMOA proposal is approved. It also is likely the Air Force will request the TMOAs on a permanent basis from 2009 and beyond. NBAA requests that Members submit comments no later than December 14 to enable the Association to respond by the FAA's deadline. Members also are encouraged to submit individual comments directly to the FAA. For more information, and to send comments, contact NBAA's Bob Lamond at rlamond@nbaa.org.

News: FAA Solicits Industry Feedback on Outdated and Unnecessary Rules
The FAA has asked for industry feedback on rules that the agency should amend, remove or simplify. The FAA values industry input on how to prioritize policy and rulemaking efforts and regularly solicits industry input to assist in reviewing the total regulatory burden placed on different segments of aviation. The comment period for this notice is open for 60 days, and closes on January 14.

News: Do I Need a First-Class Medical Certificate to Fly Internationally?
NBAA recently became aware that a U.S. Part 91 flightcrew was grounded in Europe following a safety assessment of a foreign aircraft (SAFA) check, despite the fact that both pilots held valid second-class medical certificates. While possession of a valid second-class medical certificate is sufficient to exercise the privileges of a commercial pilot certificate in the U.S., the requirement is inconsistent with ICAO standards and recommended practices. NBAA urges pilots exercising commercial and airline transport pilot privileges flying internationally to possess a current first-class medical certificate. For more information, contact NBAA's Operations Service Group at info@nbaa.org, or visit the NBAA web site at: NBAA FAQs

News: NBAA Troubled With Customs' Proposal for Private Aircraft Manifest Information
As NBAA has previously reported, the federal government recently moved to advance additional security rules for general aviation. Specifically, the U.S. Customs Service released a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) requiring private aircraft to submit passenger and aircraft owner/operator information prior to departing from or arriving in the United States. Aircraft arriving from outside the U.S. currently must provide approximately 10 pieces of passenger information; the new proposal would require 34 pieces of information, submitted via an Internet portal for every aircraft. "While the general aviation community supports security enhancements, NBAA is troubled with the potential impact of this proposal, especially on small businesses," said NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen. "We intend to convey this and other concerns to the agency, and we strongly encourage NBAA Members to do likewise." Customs has indicated that this proposal is Phase 1 of a multi-phase approach to securing U.S. borders and additional measures may be forthcoming. NBAA encourages Members to review the proposal and submit comments no later than November 17. For additional information, contact NBAA's Doug Carr at dcarr@nbaa.org

Business Aviation and the Security & Prosperity Partnership Program

Yesterday in Ottawa the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Mexico's Secretary of the Interior and Canada's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Safety jointly announced that under the Security & Prosperity Partnership program, the three countries will develop "compatible standards" not only to keep North America safe and secure, but also streamline the secure movement of low risk traffic across the shared borders.

In addition to the highly publicized proclamations made in that announcement in regard to recognized travel documents and pre-clearance programs, there were significant economic announcements which were buried in the 92 page Report to Leaders. In that document, the three governments have publicly stated their objective in regard to fractional aircraft as follows:

"Reach an agreement that allows business aviation, including fractionally owned aircraft, to fly freely between any and all three countries."

In describing the Benefits to North America , they make the following statements:

" Allows North American entities to make greater use of their own aircraft to advance their business objectives. Increases efficiency of business aviation by reducing costs and bureaucracy."

The timetable is basically set out under Key Milestones as follows:

Ø "Consult stakeholders and establish a compatible North American factional ownership regulatory regime in 2005."

Ø "Address economic barriers to an "open" trilateral regime by identifying constraints at the national level and determining how they can be addressed, and reaching agreement on an equitable regime applying to all three countries."

Ø "Agreement to be completed and implemented in 2006."

We were aware through previous meetings and indications from government officials that this announcement would contain concrete indications of the trilateral intentions on fractional ownership. We now have the written commitment of all three governments, along with an aggressive time framework for this to be accomplished.

The link to the report is located at the end of the Press Release.

Press Release from Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada :

Canada Marks Progress on Security and Prosperity Partnership with the United States and Mexico

OTTAWA, June 27, 2005 -- Deputy Prime Minister Anne McLellan and Minister of Industry David L. Emerson today met with Michael Chertoff, U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, Carlos Gutierrez, U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Fernando Canales, Mexican Secretary of the Economy and Carlos Abascal, Mexican Secretary of the Interior, to report on the progress achieved in the implementation of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America.

Prime Minister Martin, President Bush and President Fox announced the Security and Prosperity Partnership at their March 23rd meeting in Waco , Texas . In announcing the initiative, the leaders asked their lead ministers to report back within 90 days with workplans to further enhance the security of North America and promote the economic well-being of citizens.

"Keeping North America safe and secure means taking steps to protect North America from external threats, preventing and responding to threats within North America and further streamlining the secure movement of low-risk traffic across our shared borders," said Minister McLellan. "I am pleased to report that we are making significant progress on these fronts. The proposals today will go a long way toward protecting North America , while maintaining each country's sovereignty."

"The proposals outlined today will further enhance our economic collaboration and help to ensure the continued growth and competitiveness of North America , while improving the quality of life of our citizens," added Minister Emerson. "This is an excellent first step in strengthening a partnership that is grounded in our common interests, while preserving unique Canadian values."

Once fully implemented, the specific proposals and objectives identified in the workplans will significantly strengthen security and economic relationships among the three North American partners.

Highlights of the proposals for protecting North America from threats include:

• Measures to improve the screening of individuals and goods entering and leaving North America ;
• Real-time information sharing on high-risk individuals and cargo;
• Coordinated programs to ensure governments are prepared for large-scale incidents;
• Joint assessments of critical cross-border infrastructure and a commitment to work with stakeholders to enhance existing border infrastructure;
• A strengthened approach to maritime and aviation security;
• The addition of a second site for the Canada-U.S. land preclearance pilot; and
• The commitment to devise a single, integrated global enrolment program for North American trusted travellers (e.g. NEXUS, FAST, SENTRI) for travel by air, land, and sea.

Proposals to address prosperity and quality-of-life priorities include:

• Putting in place a trilateral Regulatory Cooperation Framework by 2007;
• Developing a coordinated strategy aimed at combatting counterfeiting and piracy by 2006;
• Implementing a North American Steel Strategy within the next 12 months;
• Establishing an Automotive Partnership Council of North America that will provide recommendations on moving to a fully integrated auto sector;
• Continuing trilateral work toward a sustainable energy economy;
• Improving the safety and efficiency of North American air navigation systems by 2007; and
• Strengthening cooperation on invasive species and water quality issues, food safety standards and public health issues.

The proposals were developed through trilateral working groups in consultation with stakeholders over the past 90 days. For further information, including a copy of the plans, visit

Las Vegas ATC Recommends Best Practices to Minimize Delays and Congestion
The FAA and the FBOs at Las Vegas Mc Carran International Airport (LAS) advise operators to minimize delays and congestion by making advanced parking reservations. Recently, pilots landing at LAS have been advised that no parking is available at the general aviation ramp and have then been denied landing. This has become a major issue, caused by a continuing heavy increase in general aviation traffic throughout the week, and has led to increased and lengthy delays. To assist this issue, operators are highly encouraged to make advance parking reservations for Signature Aviation and Las Vegas Executive Air Terminal. The FBOs' main switchboards are staffed 24/7 to accept reservation requests. For more information, contact the NBAA GA Desk Staff at gadesk@nbaa.org .

More on Las Vegas Best Practices
Las Vegas Approach Control and Las Vegas Tower also recommend that when either Runways 19L or 1R are being used for arrivals or departures, and a pilot can accept one of them for use, they should advise the appropriate air traffic facility on initial contact. For example: "Las Vegas Approach N1234 has information (appropriate ATIS) and can accept Runway 1R for landing." Or "Las Vegas Clearance Delivery N1234 has (appropriate ATIS) for VNY and we can accept Runway 19L for departure." Note: Based upon arrival and departure demand, the pilot may or may not be directed to these runways. The purpose is to reduce communications and may expedite arrival or departure during heavy periods of air traffic. For more information, contact the NBAA GA Desk Staff at gadesk@nbaa.org .

NBAA Welcomes Court Decision Upholding FAA Authority to Withhold Grants for Unreasonable Restrictions on Aircraft Access

NBAA today welcomed a court decision upholding authority for the FAA to take action against unreasonable restrictions on certain types of business aircraft. The decision, issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on June 3, resulted from court proceedings to determine whether a ban on Stage 2 aircraft at Naples Municipal Airport (APF) was unreasonable, as the FAA claimed. "NBAA is pleased that the court recognized and preserved the FAA's authority to withhold federal funding from airports that impose unreasonable restrictions on aircraft," said NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen. "Airports that receive federal funding and are available for public use should not unjustly discriminate against certain types of aircraft. With its decision last week, the court signaled its agreement with that principle." For more information, visit: http://web.nbaa.org/public/news/pr/2005/20050606-034.php

Atlanta RNAV Departures Procedure Change, Effective Immediately

Based on several flight path deviations immediately after takeoff from the designed path, Atlanta International Airport (ATL) RNAV departure procedures have been changed. Effective immediately, Atlanta Tower will assign an initial radar vector in an operator's takeoff clearance. Pilots should fly the assigned radar vector until cleared to join the filed RNAV departure by Atlanta Departure Control. The Atlanta Tower ATIS has been updated with the following information: "ATL RNAV Departures expect vectors to join assigned RNAV route(SID)." Initial radar vectors will be assigned by ATL Tower. On initial contact, expect Departure Control to issue clearances DIRECT to an RNAV waypoint, and then via the flight planned RNAV SID. Pilots are expected to resume assigned RNAV SID when cleared direct to original RNAV waypoint. All other RNAV briefing requirements and procedural guidance are still required. For more information, contact NBAA at info@nbaa.org.

Dulles Emphasizing the Use of RNAV Arrivals

Crews flying RNAV-capable aircraft should file for RNAV arrivals when operating to Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD). RNAV procedures greatly enhance the efficiency and capacity of Dulles and other airports where they are in use. Flightcrews can anticipate that even if they have not filed for an RNAV arrival, but are RNAV capable, ATC will clear them for the RNAV procedure into Dulles. This will result in added crew coordination at critical times of flight. For more information, contact NBAA's Harry Houckes at hhouckes@nbaa.org
