NATA Issues Statement On FAA’s SFAR Covering Powered Lift Aircraft

Group Says Ruling Is “Historic” For Creating New Category

The National Air Transportation Association (NATA) issued a statement regarding the FAA’s announcement of a Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) covering the integration of the newly-created “Powered Lift” category of aircraft into the National Airspace System.

The ruling takes into account input from NATA members, and NATA President and CEO Curt Castagna participated in the signing ceremony.

 NATA’s statement follows:

“NATA welcomes the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) timely release of the final rule for the "Integration of Powered-Lift: Pilot Certification and Operations" Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR), a productive first step in the deployment of AAM technology within the general aviation landscape and a powerful compliment to aviation industry goals. The release provides a pathway to open dialogue between operators, OEMS, and other industry stakeholders with FAA regulators.

“NATA continues to support the AAM industry’s push towards aligning certification, training, and requirements with ICAO standards and recommendations. The Association will analyze the rule and looks forward to continuing collaboration with our members and the Agency on next steps," stated NATA President and CEO Curt Castagna. “NATA’s collaborative work with our Board and committee network across all aviation business sectors allows us to maintain a leadership role in the industry’s push for investment in infrastructure necessary to support innovation development.”
