FSANA members will pay $1,250 for the ad which includes 10 seconds of audio along with individual branding for each school. N on members can gain access to the TV spot with a $2,500 payment.

FSANA membership starts at $150 and the value proposition for membership is greatly enhanced. The TV ad is another member benefit that FSANA is pleased to bring forward for the flight training industry.

The cost to produce a 30 second TV spot runs between $10K-$20K. FSANA recognizes that many schools simply do not have a large enough marketing budget  to handle this type of media.

Flight schools interested in securing their TV spot can call FSANA to begin the process. The turn around time is between 1-2 weeks.

FSANA Joins Industry Associations in Letter Supporting House Flight Act

General aviation airports are critical to our national airspace system, and specifically, to many of the members of FSANA as the locations that their businesses operate and build the next generation of pilots.

The House has recently proposed the Flight Act, and FSANA along with other industry partners recently submitted a letter of support for the effort.

Senator Imhoffe noted about the bill that, "The Flight Act allows GA airports more FAA funding flexibility, expedites the environmental review process and incentivizes public private partnerships. This legislation builds upon past Congressional efforts to support GA airports and will ultimately grow the positive impact GA airports have on the larger airport ecosystem."

FSANA supports efforts that will enhance the viability and vitality of general aviation airports and is hopeful that the industry support this bill will help its continued movement in the House.

FAA ACS for Instrument and Private Pilot Updated - New Commercial ACS Effective June 12, 2017

All parties involved with receiving and/or providing training and administrating FAA practical tests should review these documents to be prepared for their implementation on that date. Students and instructors should note that examiners must apply these new and updated standards on the effective date for any subsequent testing.

The implementation of the Commercial ACS continues the FAA/Industry work to bring all training and testing efforts into the new paradigm of Airman Certification Standards, improving and expanding on the historically applied Practical Test Standards (PTS).

Updates to the Private Pilot and Instrument ACS included minimal corrections and changes, some streamlining of some tasks, and standardization of phraseology in consideration of regulatory changes over the past year since they were initially published. Of note, the Commercial Pilot ACS do include similar changes to slow flight procedures as were implemented initially last year when the Private Pilot ACS were released and put into effect.

The new versions of these standards can be found at http://www.faa.gov/training_testing/testing/acs/.
