the security industry, the company claims to be the first in the world
to offer courses for helicopter crews in emergency preparedness and
counter-terrorism. More...

OFFERS SECURITY SEMINARS IN 2004
The NBAA has launched
its own security initiative, including a series of seminars titled NBAA

developed in partnership with the Transportation Security Administration
(TSA). The NBAA has already performed security-training seminars for
Part 91 operators based at Teterboro (TEB), Westchester County (HPN) and
Morristown (MMU) airports. These "Train-the-Trainer" sessions have given

which eventually may grant TSAAC holders access to TFRs equivalent to
that afforded scheduled air carriers. More...

NBAA:
PREPARE FOR HOLIDAY VOLUME
Before the start of the busy holiday travel season, the NBAA released a
notice advising members to be wary of flight delays due to changes in
the air traffic control flow. As we bump into the Christmas and New Year
holiday, it might be a good idea to review the organization's warnings.
The NBAA claims that during the winter months -- specifically on
Thursdays, Fridays, Sundays and days associated with holidays -- the
increased volume of general aviation traffic to and from Florida
terminals and the New York metropolitan area results in departure and en
route delays to all National Airspace System (NAS) operators.
