| 1. ADVOCACY | AOPA'S ADVOCACY EFFORTS ENCOMPASS A BROAD RANGE OF GENERAL AVIATION ACTIVITIES IN THE LEGISLATIVE, REGULATORY, STATE, AND INTERNATIONAL ARENAS. THESE ACTIVITIES INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, SUPPORTING HIGH SCHOOL STEM AVIATION CURRICULUM, SEEKING REGULATORY RELIEF FOR PILOTS DUE TO THE PANDEMIC, PROMOTING AND PROTECTING OUR NATION'S GENERAL AVIATION AIRPORT ECOSYSTEM, IMPROVING THE CROSS BORDER TRAVEL EXPERIENCE, AND CHAMPIONING THE LEGISLATIVE EFFORT TO PROVIDE REAL-TIME STATUS OF SPECIAL USE AIRSPACE DIRECTLY INTO FLIGHT DECKS. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SUCH A SYSTEM WILL BRING FINANCIAL RELIEF THROUGH LESS FUEL BURN FOR AVIATION OPERATORS AND ENORMOUS ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS THROUGH REDUCED CARBON EMISSIONS. AOPA ALSO HAS A NETWORK OF SEVEN REGIONAL MANAGERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND A GROWING NETWORK OF NEARLY 1,840 ACTIVE AIRPORT SUPPORT NETWORK VOLUNTEERS WHO HELP KEEP AOPA INFORMED ABOUT GENERAL AVIATION ISSUES IMPORTANT TO PILOTS. WORKING THROUGH OUR VOLUNTEERS, REGIONAL MANAGERS, AND HEADQUARTERS-BASED STAFF, AOPA PROMOTES, PROTECTS, AND PARTNERS WITH COMMUNITY AIRPORTS ADVOCATING TO MAINTAIN APPROPRIATE FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL FUNDING. AOPA WORKS ON BEHALF OF GENERAL AVIATION PILOTS TO THWART UNNECESSARY AND COSTLY REGULATIONS, PREVENT EXCESS TAXATION ON FLYING, ENSURE A SAFE SYSTEM, AND PROTECT OUR FREEDOM TO FLY. THESE AND MANY MORE ADVOCACY ACHIEVEMENTS LED THE WASHINGTON, DC-BASED NEWSPAPER, THE HILL, TO RECOGNIZE AOPA AS A TOP ADVOCACY ORGANIZATION. 2. YOU CAN FLY AOPA'S YOU CAN FLY PROGRAM IS A SET OF INITIATIVES DESIGNED TO GET PEOPLE FLYING AND KEEP THEM FLYING. WITH INITIATIVES TO INTRODUCE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO CAREER OPPORTUNITIES IN AVIATION AND AEROSPACE, PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR FLIGHT SCHOOLS AND STUDENTS, DELIVER TOOLS AND RESOURCES TO HELP PILOTS CREATE AND GROW FLYING CLUBS, AND HELP LAPSED PILOTS GET BACK IN THE AIR, YOU CAN FLY IS SUPPORTING AVIATORS AT EVERY STAGE OF THEIR JOURNEY. AOPA IS DEVELOPING AND DELIVERING A FREE FOUR-YEAR AVIATION STEM CURRICULUM TO THOUSANDS OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS NATIONWIDE. AN ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM FOR EDUCATORS HELPS SCHOOLS CREATE AND GROW AVIATION STEM PROGRAMS TO MEET THEIR SPECIFIC NEEDS, WHILE $1 MILLION IN SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AWARDED ANNUALLY TO HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS AND STUDENTS TO HELP THEM EARN A PILOT CERTIFICATE. FOR FLIGHT SCHOOLS, INSTRUCTORS, AND STUDENTS, AOPA IS DELIVERING TRAINING AND TOOLS DESIGNED TO HELP REDUCE THE DROPOUT RATE BY MAKING TRAINING MORE EFFICIENT, TRANSPARENT, AND CUSTOMER FOCUSED. THE ANNUAL FLIGHT TRAINING EXPERIENCE AWARDS SUPPORT BEST PRACTICES AND RECOGNIZE SCHOOLS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT DELIVER EXCEPTIONAL TRAINING EXPERIENCES TO THEIR CLIENTS.

AN ONLINE COURSE OPTION MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR PILOTS TO REFRESH THEIR CRITICAL GROUND SCHOOL KNOWLEDGE ANY TIME. BOTH THE IN-PERSON AND THE ONLINE PROGRAMS PROVIDE FAA WINGS CREDIT. 3. EDUCATION EDUCATING OUR MEMBERS, AND THE GENERAL AVIATION COMMUNITY, ABOUT OUR WORK TO PROTECT THEIR FREEDOM TO FLY IS CENTRAL TO OUR MISSION. PILOTS, AIRCRAFT OWNERS, AND AVIATION ENTHUSIASTS HAVE COME TO COUNT ON AOPA AS THE CALLED-UPON SOURCE OF INFORMATION THAT IS VITAL TO THEIR FLYING INTERESTS. WE CONTINUE TO PROVIDE A VARIETY OF RESOURCES AND CONTENT THAT KEEP MEMBERS EDUCATED AND ENGAGED ABOUT ISSUES AND DEVELOPMENTS IN GENERAL AVIATION. AMONG THESE ARE: TWO REGULARLY PUBLISHED MAGAZINES, DAILY WEB CONTENT, SEVERAL ELECTRONIC NEWSLETTERS, A WEEKLY VIDEO NEWS PROGRAM, FIVE PODCASTS, STREAMING VIDEO, CHAT PROGRAM WITH OUR PILOT INFORMATION CENTER, MULTIPLE WEB SITES AIMED AT SPECIFIC INTERESTS, AND EVENTS ALL WITH THE GOAL OF EDUCATING AND INFORMING OUR MEMBERS, THE LARGER AVIATION COMMUNITY, AND THE PUBLIC. AOPA ALSO ENSURES THAT ITS WIDE BREADTH OF CONTENT AND RESOURCES IS AVAILABLE TO THE AVIATION COMMUNITY IN THE MYRIAD WAYS THEY CONSUME TODAY'S NEWS AND ENTERTAINMENT. OUR ONLINE TOOLS PROVIDE ROUND-THE-CLOCK ACCESS TO NEWS, INFORMATION, WEATHER AND AIRPORT INFORMATION, AIRCRAFT OWNERSHIP RESOURCES, AND MUCH MORE.

AOPA CHANNELS OFFER DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROCESS AND REQUIREMENTS FOR LEARNING TO FLY, AID IN FINDING A FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR AND AVIATION MEDICAL EXAMINER, AN IN-DEPTH GUIDE TO CHOOSING A TRAINING AIRCRAFT, AND INFORMATION ABOUT AVIATION CAREERS. AOPA'S ANNUAL LEARN TO FLY PUBLICATION IS ALSO SHARED WITH FLIGHT SCHOOLS AS AN AID FOR STUDENT PILOTS. PILOTS WITH MORE EXPERIENCE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF INFORMATION ABOUT EARNING ADVANCED RATINGS AND CERTIFICATES, AS WELL AS TRANSITIONING TO HIGH PERFORMANCE AIRCRAFT, TURBOPROPS, AND JETS. OVER THE PAST YEAR, AOPA HAS PROVIDED VALUABLE INFORMATION TO PILOTS AND AIRCRAFT OWNERS ON STAYING SAFE IN THE SKIES DURING THE PANDEMIC. AOPA HAD THREE MAJOR FLY-INS SCHEDULED FOR 2020 IN TEXAS, WYOMING, AND NEW YORK, ALONG WITH OUR TRADITIONAL PARTICIPATION IN MAJOR NATIONAL EVENTS SUCH AS SUN 'N FUN, EAA AIR VENTURE, NBAA, WOMEN IN AVIATION AND OTHERS. AS THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC UNFOLDED, HOWEVER, AOPA JOINED MANY OF THESE ORGANIZATIONS IN MAKING THE DIFFICULT DECISION TO CANCEL OUR EVENTS IN THE INTEREST OF PUBLIC SAFETY. ALL MAJOR EVENT PROGRAMMING WAS SUSPENDED FOR THE 2020 EVENT SEASON. AOPA FOCUSED ON ENHANCING OUR ONLINE EDUCATIONAL AND EDITORIAL CONTENT TO ENSURE MEMBERS HAD ACCESS TO THE BEST CONTENT IN THE INDUSTRY. 4.

AIR SAFETY INSTITUTE SINCE 1950, THE GENERAL AVIATION (GA) ACCIDENT RATE HAS DECREASED BY 90 PERCENT DUE IN LARGE PART TO THE AOPA AIR SAFETY INSTITUTE'S (ASI) SAFETY EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS, OUTREACH TO THE GA COMMUNITY, AND COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS WITH GOVERNMENT, INDUSTRY, AND ACADEMIA. APART FROM ITS FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR RENEWAL PROGRAMS, ASI'S SERVICES AND PRODUCTS SAFETY VIDEOS, PODCASTS, QUIZZES, SEMINARS, PUBLICATIONS, AND RESEARCH ARE FREE TO ANYONE. IN 2020, ASI'S MATERIAL WAS ACCESSED NEARLY 12 MILLION TIMES, REACHING A NEW RECORD. THIS WAS MADE POSSIBLE IN PART BY THE RELEASE OF 76 NEW PRODUCTS INCLUDING VIDEOS, PODCASTS, PUBLICATIONS, AND THE DELIVERY OF PRE-COVID SEMINARS FOLLOWED BY MONTHLY WEBINARS TO MORE THAN 10,000 PILOTS AND AVIATION ENTHUSIASTS. ASI DEVELOPED ITS FIRST ALL-DIGITAL JOSEPH T. NALL REPORT THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE AND WIDELY USED ANALYSIS OF GA ACCIDENTS IN THE INDUSTRY. THE REPORT FEATURES NEAR REAL-TIME DATA TO HELP INFORM AND DRIVE NEW AND MODIFIED SAFETY INITIATIVES. THE AIR SAFETY INSTITUTE CONTINUES TO ADVANCE ITS RESEARCH PROJECTS, THE FIRST OF WHICH WILL MINE NASA'S AVIATION SAFETY REPORTING SYSTEM (ASRS) DATA. THE RESULTS OF THE STUDY, DUE TO BE COMPLETED IN MID-2021, AIM TO PROVIDE GREATER INSIGHTS INTO PERSISTENT PROBLEM AND RISK AREAS ENCOUNTERED BY GENERAL AVIATION PILOTS THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE GO UNNOTICED. ASI PARTNERS WITH LEADING RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES TO USE THE TIME, TOOLS, AND TALENT THEY AFFORD AT AN ACADEMIC LEVEL. THIS PROVIDES EVEN MORE DATA TO HELP STEER THE DIRECTION OF OUR EFFORTS. ASI'S CONTINUOUS RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS OF DATA ENSURES THAT IT'S CONCENTRATING ITS EFFORTS ON PROVIDING RELEVANT AND APPROPRIATE MATERIALS TO ADDRESS THE CURRENT AND FUTURE NEEDS OF GENERAL AVIATION SAFETY. ASI'S SUCCESS IN REACHING AVIATION ENTHUSIASTS AROUND THE WORLD MILLIONS OF TIMES EACH YEAR UNIQUELY QUALIFIES IT AS A LEADING INFLUENCE ON GA SAFETY MATTERS. |
