NAAA membership is as important as ever as NAAA needs resources to continue working
to ensure EPA registers a healthy inventory of crop protection products for
aerial use without restrictions. NAAA continues to advocate daily on these and
other important issues for the safety and continuity of the aerial application
industry. Continue to protect your interests and strengthen the ag aviation
today by renewing online
today.
RECENT SUCCESSES
2017/2018 have been successful for public relations. NAAA
continued its advertising campaign in Farm
Journal, which directs readers to NAAA’s website and its “Find an Aerial
Applicator” search function. The publication has a circulation of
nearly 350,000 farmers nationwide.
NAAA also attended EAA AirVenture for the third consecutive
year to spread the word about the importance of agricultural aviation as well
as recruit the next generation of ag pilots who will provide the aerial
application services farmers depend on.

POLICY PRIORITIES
NAAA is your wingman in Washington D.C. and is dedicated to lobbying and
advocating on your behalf on the following issues affecting the industry:
- Protecting ag aircraft
from UAVs by advocating UAVs be equipped with safety enhancing equipment
such as ADSB-Out, visible strobe lights, and tracking and ID technology.
- Ensuring the safety of
low-flying ag aircraft by working to preserve and implement the marking
requirements for communication towers under 200 feet.
- Continually evolving
education programs and services such as the Professional Aerial
Applicators’ Support System (PAASS) that reduce aviation accidents and
save lives. PAASS attendees can receive potential discounts through their
insurance providers. PAASS and other NAAA education programs also qualify
for continuing education units applicators use to renew their commercial
pesticides licenses.
- Eliminating unnecessary,
duplicative and burdensome regulations such as eliminating NPDES
permitting requirements for aerial pesticide applications over or near
water and ensuring local governments do not ban the use of federally
registered crop protection products.
- Opposing efforts to
eliminate the ag aviation fuel tax exemption; opposing the levy of user
fees for ag aircraft flights; and resist efforts to lengthen the time to
depreciate ag aircraft purchases.
- Obtaining federal funding
for USDA aerial application research, enhancing our stewardship and efficiency.
