The FAA released a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on January 10 that would update and extend Part 5 SMS requirements to Part 135 outfits, certain Part 21 certificate holders, and air tours operating under FAR 91.147.  There is a comment period now through April 11.  You can read the NPRM here.  The FAA Part 5 NPRM is reaching the end of its comment period, and so far the industry has only submitted 74 comments...most of which do not meet the mark.

This is a critical time for the industry to rally together around Part 5, and provide feedback to the FAA.  The Tennessee Business Aviation Association (TnBAA) would like to invite all of our members and industry individuals to join them in a presentation given by Amanda Ferraro, with Aviation Safety Solutions!  The presentation will be held virtually via Zoom on March 23rd from 2pm to 3pm eastern.

If you are a Part 91 Flight Department that operates outside the U.S., Part 135, Part 145, Manufacturer, or a Flight School, you will benefit from this discussion.

Learn what the FAA is proposing in Part 5 and how to prepare your own comment that will benefit the industry.

When	Thu Mar 23, 2023 2pm – 3pm (EDT)
Where	Join Zoom Meeting https://us06web.zoom.us/j/81388104475?pwd=NGV1c2JsdnhrQTlnem56UUQzRnkvZz09 Meeting ID: 813 8810 4475 Passcode: 384262

Starting on Monday, September 12th, and on every Monday thereafter, Canyon restaurant will be hosting an "In The Biz" night for aviation and marine industry professionals.  All SFBAA Members are able to take advantage of this, which includes 50% off select dinner menu items and happy hour, along with special drink prices.

Flight Plan Filers,

In the event you need routes to and from Florida airports not included on the FAA Command Center website at NFDC Preferred Routes Database (faa.gov) to be updated on 5/19/2022, you can utilize the following links provided by Jacksonville ARTCC (ZJX).  Use the Northbound link for flights departing Florida airports and use the Southbound link for flight landing at Florida airports.  The Florida airports in the routes in the two links include:  07FA, APF, BCT, EYW, FA54, FHB, FMY, FLL, FXE, ISM, MKY, MIA, MCO, OPF, ORL, PBI, PIE, PGD, RSW, SFB, SRQ, SUA, TMB, TPA.  Again, please file the precise route for your departure and destination airport to avoid ATC re-routes.

Additionally, ZJX requested all filers be sent the ppt below to familiarize you with the offshore/water route structure to Florida airports in place effective 5/19/2022.  These routes will be in place until later this year with the implementation of the Northeast Corridor Atlantic Coast Routes project.
