Our Fight to Protect General Aviation
We Need Real Modernization:
Fully Funding the FAA and Preserving Accountability
 
The air traffic control system needs to be driven by the best interests of American public – not the airlines’ bottom line. Specifically, we need to:
  • Modernize the Air Traffic Control System with Satellite Technology
    The Alliance for Aviation Across America supports transitioning to the Next Generation Air Transportation System that is satellite-based rather than today’s ground-based navigation system.
  • Reject “User Fees” in any Form
    User fees would impose an unfair regulatory and financial burden on the millions of Americans who depend on small planes for their livelihood, and have the potential to ground small aircraft.   The AAAA opposes this tax structure and thus is in favor of the current “pay at the pump” fuel tax system, as it the simplest, most efficient way to fund FAA operations.
  • Oppose “Large Aircraft Security Program” (LASP)
    Unnecessary and inefficient security measures, such the “Large Aircraft Security Program” proposed by the TSA, would have dire consequences on the general aviation community.  These new and arbitrary rules by TSA would create a huge new bureaucracy that would do little to prevent terrorist activity relating to the use of a small aircraft, and would unfortunately decimate businesses, farmers, and organizations with new administrative burden and bureaucracy.
  • Support Rural America through the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) and Essential Air Service.
