Three major national general aviation industry
awards, as well as FAA's national aviation safety counselor award,
will be presented by FAA Administrator Marion Blakey during the
annual "Meet The Administrator" session at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh
2003. (The 51st annual fly-in convention for the Experimental
Aircraft Association (EAA) is scheduled July 29-August 4 at
Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh.)
The industry awards program, now in its 40th year, honors the
National Certificated Flight Instructor of the Year, the National
Aviation Maintenance Technician of the Year and the National
Avionics Technician of the Year. In addition, Administrator Blakey
will present the FAA National Aviation Safety Counselor of the Year
award, marking the first time all four of these prestigious awards
will be presented together.
"In this, the 100th year of flight, we are extremely pleased to
see AirVenture as the location for the 40th presentation of these
national awards," said EAA President and AirVenture Chairman Tom
Poberezny. "These dedicated award recipients deserve the special
recognition that is available at AirVenture, where enthusiasts and
professionals from throughout the world gather each summer to
celebrate their mutual passion for aviation."
The
award winners will be announced in early March. The exact date of
the presentation during EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2003 will be
announced when it is confirmed.
The General Aviation Industry Awards Program is a cooperative
effort between the Federal Aviation Administration and industry
sponsors to recognize outstanding individuals in the fields of
Aviation Maintenance, Avionics and Flight Instruction. Yearly
winners are selected and recognized at three levels: local Flight
Standards District Offices (FSDO), the nine regional FAA offices
and finally at the national level.
