GAMA companies are passionate about certification reform because this is an area where, working together, we can improve safety, become more competitive, and expand U.S. manufacturing jobs.
We believe the upcoming FAA reauthorization offers the FAA, policymakers, and industry the ability to constructively and collaboratively address some of our concerns and ensure a robust system that promotes safety and more effective and efficient oversight.
Anything we do in policy making that hurts our industry’s time to market or entry into new markets will have exponential impact on the incredibly diverse employers making up the U.S. aviation supply chain.
As a pilot, I am constantly refining and learning new skills to enhance my awareness and ability in the cockpit of aircraft that I fly. As an industry, with the support of government safety regulators, we need to do the same to ensure we maintain our leadership in the aviation sector.
As the leader of a small aviation manufacturing business, I thank the Committee for holding this hearing and look forward to describing how NextGen avionics—specifically ADS-B equipage—is readily available, affordable, and easy to install.
We appreciate the FAA’s work, dedication, and attention, but also believe there are opportunities to improve and reform their efforts to maximize benefits, improve safety, and allow small businesses like Aspen Avionics to flourish.
As we go forward, we need to ensure that our efforts address the needs of all communities for aviation services and with the recognition that general aviation is integral to U.S. leadership in aviation and its economic success.
Manufacturers stand ready to help drive innovation and investment but, too often in the past and despite the best intentions, FAA policy and procedure has hindered the industry’s ability to successfully develop and deploy new aviation products and technologies.
