Bunce: Association Looks Forward To Working With Congress
GAMA president and CEO Pete Bunce
says the FAA reauthorization bill is "vital" to the health of
general aviation manufacturers, and on Wednesday praised the chairs
of the full committee and subcommittee for getting the bill, the
FAA Reauthorization and Reform Act of 2011 [H. R. 658], through the
Transportation committee and on to the Committee on Ways and
Means.
"Chairmen Mica and Petri have shown great leadership in the
crafting of this bill and we look forward to working with them and
Ranking Members Rahall and Costello on its passage," Bunce said in
a media release. "This bill contains many provisions which are
vitally important to general aviation manufacturers including
strengthening the ability of the FAA to implement the procedures,
policies, and technology necessary for the advancement of NextGen.
It also enhances repair station safety oversight and provides
support for a critical safety agreement between the U.S. and
Europe."
"In addition, the bill provides language to help make the
existing FAA certification processes more streamlined and efficient
without compromising safety and establishes an FAA-industry group
to ensure consistent interpretation of regulations and effective
communication about potential changes," Bunce continued. "We look
forward to continuing to work with all members of Congress to
ensure that the funding levels in the bill will support critical
NextGen investments and the certification resources necessary to
create jobs in this country and maintain our global
competitiveness."
