Looking For People Who Promote Flight Safety And Education

In each of the past 46 years, the General Aviation Awards program and the FAA have recognized a small group of aviation professionals in the fields of flight instruction, aviation maintenance, avionics, and safety for their contributions to aviation, education, and flight safety.

This awards program is a cooperative effort between the FAA and more than a dozen industry sponsors.  The selection process begins with local FAA Safety Team managers at Flight Standards District Offices (FSDO) and then moves on to the eight regional FAA offices.  Panels of aviation professionals from within those four fields then select national winners from the pool of regional winners.
 
The FAA administrator will present the national awards at the "Theater in the Woods" program at EAA AirVenture 2010 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.  Included in the prize package for all four national winners is an all expense paid trip to Oshkosh for the recipient and a guest to attend the awards presentation and other GA Awards activities.  

These awards highlight the important role played by these individuals in promoting aviation education and flight safety.The awards program sponsors are pleased that four outstanding aviation professionals will receive the recognition they so richly deserve before their peers in Oshkosh.

Nominations are due to your local Flight Standards District Office by September 30, 2009.
