What are the top five issues in our industry
today that are most important to your group?
1. EAPIS, Security, Cost savings,
2. Security, Crew duty times, economic downturn, training, international slot
restrictions
3. Perception of business aviation to the public and congress; ATC issues; Jobs;
Local tax issues; Safety
4. In my opinion only - Economy's effect on our industry, TSA LASP, TSA APIS
requirements
5. Positive PR for GA; Regional Involvement in activities; Safety.
6. Security, Access, Environment, Lack of political skills / experience in local
aviation organizations
7. No particular order: Airport Construction - Access (OMA primarily); ATC - Improve
regional handling/arrival/departure efficiencies; LASP / Security proposal
mitigation by working with US Sen/Congress members and trade associations;
Improve public perception of General / Business Aviation via congressional
officials and our trade associations; Discussing methods to help improve member
fbo and flt dept service levels in a continued economic downturn
15
What are the top five issues in our industry
today that are most important to your group?

should be a formal part of NBAA
10. Costs of Operation; Positive PR for our Industry; Economy Cost of Government
Regulations to our operations; Security compliance (existing & forthcoming)
11. Access (curfews, noise and weight limits); Users Fees; Controlling Operating
Costs; Regulatory Compliance; understanding the issues; - Managing the optics
of corporate aviation.

General Aviation Security.
17
What specific actions taken by your group have
affected its growth both positively and negatively?
1. Positive - depends on what the meeting is about. No charge and always
sponsored; Negative - need more flight department involvement from upper
levels.
2. Safety Standdown, Networking Opportunities
3. We have tried to be aggressive in having more activities so that our membership
finds a value in their membership. So far we have had a positive feedback on our
activities and found a boost of new membership due to these activities.
4. Keeping the word out there that we exist. In the past is have been by word of
mouth and emails. I am very interested in a website for PRSDA as it will greatly
help us communicate with everyone, not just those involved with PRSDA.
5. We have started to re-charge the group in our region by re-defining our purpose
and goals.
6. We have tried to create membership value (training, education, communication,
advocacy) but growth is incremental. We have tried to gain legitimacy as voice of
GA at HPN through safety, security and community outreach
18
What specific actions taken by your group have
affected its growth both positively and negatively?
7. Continue growth curve by keeping our membership abreast of regional/national
events impacting business aviation. We do this by quarterly luncheons (with
impactful program/speakers), emailings of Board publications/letters and
attempting to keep our web-site updated.
8. Great Presenters; fast action at the meeting; No Q&A slows down meeting attendees lose interest
9. Positive- news and press about our group – meetings; Focus on all aspects of
aviation not just pilot operations. Negatively - lack of time (volunteer) by board to
operate effectively.
10. Positive - becoming politically active has helped members with access, ground
lease costs, and airport planning (ensuring space for corporate hangars at BFI).
Negative - being perceived as a BFI only club with little relevance outside Seattle
11. Limited guest speaker availability
12. Positively: support by the MKC airport manager and fundraising events.
Negatively: Good people losing their jobs and moving away from Kansas City that
were leaders in the organization
19
What specific actions taken by your group have
affected its growth both positively and negatively?
13. Local and State Wide Meetings, Texas Aviation Summit, Gulf Coast Wings, local
speaking engagements.
14. Development of 4 year aviation academic program in an area university; Actively
encouraging smaller GA airports to join our team.
15. Greater communication with airport management and fellow airport tenants.
Frequent community events which boost our sense of community. Aircraft
operators and Fire Department/Crash Crew equipment familiarization.
16. We hold many discussions/presentations throughout the year to create
awareness, strengthen relationships with government and local agencies and
individuals, craft solutions and recommendations.
17. We do a monthly happy hour, monthly dinner/network with a speaker, and a
monthly activity like going to FlightSafety.
18. Requesting Airport Operations, Local Air Traffic Control Operations, Local TSA
Officials as well as Vendors to provide information on current issues to be
covered at each meeting.
