Operations Council
Organized under the purview of the Vice President for Technical Services, the Operations Council meets in person three times per year, with the third meeting occurring in conjunction with the Maintenance and Safety Councils. The joint meeting features top-level executives from the FAA and offers the opportunity for members to address issues that cut across all three Technical Services Councils.
Led by an elected Chair and Vice Chair from NACA members, the Operations Council consists of the management of each member’s operations organization. The Chair serves a one-year term and is succeeded by the Vice Chair. This group receives routine e-mail distributions concerning operations activities issued by FAA such as Airworthiness Directives (ADs), INFOs, SAFOs, and handbook changes, among other issues. Representation on this group can be as large or small as each member requests.
Meetings feature:
- Agendas developed by the chairs in coordination with Council members to discuss current, relevant issues impacting NACA members
- Presentations by, and discussions with, government officials on regulatory and industry policy issues requested by the agenda topics
- Discussions and updates on aviation rulemaking advisory groups whose purpose is to assist the Federal Aviation Administration in the development of regulatory standards
- Discussions and experience sharing on issues of common concern to our members
- Roundtable discussions that allow each member to raise specific issues occurring at their airline, to be reviewed for systemic relevance and solutions
