NBAA welcomed the unanimous passage last week of legislation intended to provide general aviation (GA) pilots with more equitable treatment during federal
enforcement actions against them, and improve the presentation of notice to
airmen information used for preflight planning. Senate Bill 1335, known as the
"Pilots' Bill of Rights," received strong support from lawmakers on both sides
of the aisle. "This is a big victory for general aviation pilots all across the
country," said Sen. Jim Inhofe, who introduced the bill last year. "This bill
remedies many of the most serious deficiencies in the relationship between
general aviation and the FAA, and ensures that pilots are, like everyone else,
treated in a fair and equitable manner by the justice system

Huerta's Nomination Moves Forward in Senate

Last week, the Senate Commerce, Science & Transportation Committee approved the
nomination of FAA Acting Administrator Michael Huerta for a five-year term as
administrator of the agency. When President Obama nominated Huerta, NBAA urged
the Senate to confirm him. "In his work at the FAA, Michael Huerta has
demonstrated strong leadership and a solid understanding of the industry's
priorities, including the need for continued transformation to a Next Generation
Air Traffic Control System, which will produce safety and efficiency gains in
America's aviation system," NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen said at the time.
Huerta's nomination still needs the full Senate's approval, and the timing for
that remains unclear.
