To Be Presented On NATA Day On Capitol Hill In April
The National Air Transportation Association (NATA) has issued
a call for nominations to acknowledge the individuals, offices, and
organizations demonstrating excellence in their field and the
highest level of customer service to the general aviation
community. Each year, NATA presents seven awards to the exceptional
individuals and companies that have helped to improve the general
aviation community. The recipients of five of these awards are
chosen based upon NATA member-submitted nominations.
These awards cover five categories:
The Airport Executive Partnership Award recognizes an airport
manager for outstanding efforts to nurture the relationships
between aviation businesses and airport operators.
The Aviation Journalism Award identifies a journalist, writer,
or publication that excels in consumer education or editorial
support that is beneficial to the general aviation industry.
The Excellence In Pilot Training Award recognizes an individual
or organization that has made outstanding contributions in safety,
professionalism, leadership, and excellence in the field of pilot
training.
The FAA Customer Service Excellence Award recognizes a Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) facility or facility staff member who
represents the highest degree of customer service and elevates the
quality of interaction between the FAA and aircraft maintenance and
repair facilities, Part 135 certificate holders, airport service
organizations, and flight schools.
The ATP/NATA General Aviation Service Technician Award
acknowledges the exceptional performance of a licensed airframe and
power plant mechanic or radio repairman who has practiced his or
her craft for a period of 20 or more years.
