THIS year it is as the saying goes a Conference of two halves. The
Conference theme is “AIRCARE in Action”. This is supported first
by the session on Monday morning involving CAA, where there
will be several presentations on issues that have a huge effect on
agricultural aviation. Chief among these is the status and situation
regarding CAR Part 137, which has grown in scope since the Project
Working Group was set up some years back now, to consider the
need for a rule revision.
AIRCARE is about more than aviation safety however, and in the
second half of the programme on Tuesday, there will be a workshop
session on the environmental regulatory scene and aviation – both
agricultural and rural. Much of this will involve the MAF Sustainable
Farming Fund project entitled: “Environmental Best Practice in
Agricultural and associated Rural Aviation”. Just after half-time,
there will be five or six other presentations to add to the occasion.
The NZAAA Annual Conference will consist of two intensive,
hard fought halves of an important game, where the winner will be
you, - if you attend.
