In each of the past 47 years, the General Aviation Awards program and the Federal Aviation Administration (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 AirVenture 2011 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.
Please take a few minutes to consider all the deserving aviation professionals that this program might apply to in your community. Required application / nomination forms are available here
and should be forwarded upon completion to your local FAASTeam Program Manager by September 30, 2010.
The Southern Region FAASTeam would like to thank you in advance for your support on this very important FAA / Industry project.
