FSANA Joins Industry Associations in Letter Supporting House Flight Act
General aviation airports are critical to our national airspace system, and specifically, to many of the members of FSANA as the locations that their businesses operate and build the next generation of pilots.
The House has recently proposed the Flight Act, and FSANA along with other industry partners recently submitted a letter of support for the effort.
Senator Imhoffe noted about the bill that, "The Flight Act allows GA airports more FAA funding flexibility, expedites the environmental review process and incentivizes public private partnerships. This legislation builds upon past Congressional efforts to support GA airports and will ultimately grow the positive impact GA airports have on the larger airport ecosystem."
FSANA supports efforts that will enhance the viability and vitality of general aviation airports and is hopeful that the industry support this bill will help its continued movement in the House.

FAA ACS for Instrument and Private Pilot Updated - New Commercial ACS Effective June 12, 2017
All parties involved with receiving and/or providing training and administrating FAA practical tests should review these documents to be prepared for their implementation on that date. Students and instructors should note that examiners must apply these new and updated standards on the effective date for any subsequent testing.
The implementation of the Commercial ACS continues the FAA/Industry work to bring all training and testing efforts into the new paradigm of Airman Certification Standards, improving and expanding on the historically applied Practical Test Standards (PTS).
Updates to the Private Pilot and Instrument ACS included minimal corrections and changes, some streamlining of some tasks, and standardization of phraseology in consideration of regulatory changes over the past year since they were initially published. Of note, the Commercial Pilot ACS do include similar changes to slow flight procedures as were implemented initially last year when the Private Pilot ACS were released and put into effect.
