AOPA Pilot Magazine - October 2024 - 9
The drive for more
accurate issuance
and scoping of ADs
By Murray Huling
AOPA vice president, government affairs
T YPE CLUB MEMBERS
and aircraft owners
can sign up on the
AOPA website to get
early notice of airworthiness
concerns
from the FAA and give
feedback before an airworthiness
directive is proposed.
The FAA's Aircraft Certification Service
produces airworthiness concern sheets (ACS)
designed to provide a method for the industry
to respond with their experiences with
the ACS before issuing a proposed AD. This
helps the FAA consider the need for an AD
and, if so, accurately determine applicability
and scoping.
The airworthiness concern process was
established in 2000 via an agreement between
AOPA and the FAA, with AOPA being the link
between the aircraft type club subscribers
and the FAA. This communication link provides
the opportunity for industry to directly
inform the FAA's respective airworthiness
concern sheet authoring engineer. AOPA
recently changed our software supporting
the airworthiness concern process, so please
make sure your type club signs up to receive
airworthiness concern sheet notifications. Go
to aopa.org/airworthiness-concern to subscribe
so you can determine if it affects you
and respond accordingly to enhance the AD
development process.

REGIONAL NEWS /
What is the best
way for pilots
to support
airports? Go fly!
By Sean Collins
AOPA regional manager,
Eastern region
P I L O T S R E G U L A R LY AS K me
what they can do to support airport
advocacy beyond their local
airport. First, sign up for AOPA's
annual automatic renewal so you
never have to worry about missing
your weekly ePilot newsletter,
your best source for advocacy
news stories. Next, find somewhere
new to fly instead of visiting
the same old haunt for the same
$100 hamburger. And don't just do
a touch-and-go, challenge yourself
to visit an off-airfield location and
make a point to tell each new person
you meet along the way that
the only reason you're in town
that day is because of the airport.
While airports afford access from
one community to another, that
access is only valued if those of
us using them connect the airport
back to its community.
sean.collins@aopa.org
EASTERN REGION
Opposing Richmond International Airport's
current proposal to exercise its propriety,
exclusive right to monopolize FBO services,
eliminating competition and two established
private FBOs.
SOUTHERN REGION
Provided support for members concerned
about a housing development proposed
immediately adjacent to the runway
protection zone at Pilot Country Airport
in Florida.
GREAT L AKES REGION
Represented AOPA at the Minnesota
Seaplane Pilots Association (MSPA) Safety
Conference in East Gull Lake, Minnesota,
along with AOPA President Mark Baker and
Air Safety Institute Senior Vice President
Mike Ginter.
CENTRAL SOUTHWEST REGION
Led local pilots in advocating to keep the
Manchester Municipal Airport open.
NORTHWEST MOUNTAIN REGION
Led successful effort to revise airport
notams at Roberts Field in Redmond,
Oregon. Supported Aspen-Pitkin County
Airport/Sardy Field users by advocating for
increased apron access for local users and
transparency during airport long-term lease
negotiations with the FBO.
WESTERN PACIFIC REGION
Stopped a proposed California aircraft
registration fee program and successfully
amended legislation regarding 100LL to
comply with the recently enacted FAA
Reauthorization Act by keeping 100LL
available at airports until 2030.
