1 Palmetto Aviation Airports Mean Business South Carolina Aviation Association Palmetto Aviation 2017 Summer Edition

We plan to make improvements to a few of our programs, including the Southeast Aviation Expo, Ambassadors Passport Program and Aircraft Maintenance Technician Day.

2 President s Letter We are more than half way through the year and what an exciting year it has been so far. Your board has been hard at work, with the assistance of Associations Plus, to improve on this great organization that supports all facets of aviation. We plan to make improvements to a few of our programs, including the Southeast Aviation Expo, Ambassadors Passport Program and Aircraft Maintenance Technician Day. Stay tuned for these updates later in the year. At our next board meeting, we plan to hold a committee planning session that will be open to all members. Everyone is encouraged to attend. Each committee will discuss their programs for the upcoming year, and we would love to have as much input as possible to ensure we are hosting the best events in South Carolina. The work session will begin at 10 a.m. on Thursday, August 24 at the Rock Hill York County Airport. The board will meet at 1 p.m. after a lunch break. One significant change that occurred last month was the unification of the SCAA and the South Carolina Aviation Safety Council (SCASC). At the June meeting, the board approved the SCASC joining our association as an additional standing committee. Special thanks to Chris Eversmann, the outgoing chairman of the council, for his tireless efforts to ensure its success. We re thrilled to incorporate yet another addition of aviation in South Carolina to our organization. National Aviation Week is here, and we want you celebrating with us! There are many airports and other organizations across the state that are planning various events for the week. To learn more about planned events or to get tips on hosting your own, please contact SCAA Headquarters or South Carolina Aeronautics Commission.

3 Aeronautics Commission Update Success can be determined in many different ways, but each way is defined by its respective author. Since I'm the author of this article, I m going to claim that this past fiscal year was almost successful. At the beginning of the fiscal year, my goal, along with many of you, was to end the year with the State Aviation Fund (SAF) being in better shape than when we began. At the onset of the year, the SAF had about $600,000 of uncommitted funds available for new airport grant and aid programs. Throughout the year, revenues added $4.3 million. Expenses were a little more than $1.5 million, and new grant commitments totaled $2.5 million. So, between the carry-over non-committed money, the revenue, and the expenses and commitments, no grant request went unfunded, and maintenance programs were supported as planned. Operationally, I can say that we had success. Unfortunately, I can't say that we were completely successful though. That would have meant that we secured the "dedicated" funding needed to sustain the long-term support of the SAF. That long-term support would have come in the form of committing the Airline Property Taxes that partially flow to the General Fund of the state entirely to the SAF. Now, we are in a new fiscal year, and we have another opportunity to influence change. Each and every one of us will have an opportunity to communicate the need of the State's Airport System, and each have independent circles of influence. Please plan on assisting me with the funding requests for the SAF. It is critical for the future of our airports here in South Carolina. The Aeronautics Commission is continuing the planning process of our Airport System Plan and packaging Economic Impact information for each of our publicly owned public use airports. These reports will help with the SAF funding discussions and provide guidance to the SCAC as they assist airports with needs in the coming years. Not only will the reports help with state discussions, but they will also help each individual airport communicate needs and value of the respective airports. Finally, Congress is in deliberations about FAA reauthorization and Air Traffic Control Privatization. Please make sure that your individual voices are heard as they consider these important topics that impact the future of our airports and the costs of operating aircraft in our National Airspace System.

7 Safety Council Becomes Part of SCAA The South Carolina Aviation Safety Council (SCASC) is now formally part of the South Carolina Aviation Association, effective June 15, when the SCAA board officially voted to absorb the Safety Council into its standing committee structure. The mission of the SCASC is to promote and improve positive attitudes and behaviors toward all areas of aviation safety (ground and flight) to reduce occurrence of personal injury and death, as well as property and equipment damage and destruction, while ensuring the future of general aviation in South Carolina. This vital mission is also reflected in the Safety Council s motto: Safer Skies... Safer Pilots... Safer Airports. Founded in 1996, the Safety Council has long been referred to as the Safety Arm of the South Carolina Aviation Association. What does this mean to you as a SCAA member? It means your primary aviation safety resource organization is even closer and more accessible than ever! It means that the Safety Council will be more responsive with more resources to promote aviation safety at our airports. It means that your opportunity to serve as an aviation safety volunteer is closer and easier than ever! You ll still see the distinct logo, regular articles and reports in Palmetto Aviation. You ll still be able to participate in Safety Fly-Ins. And you ll still able to seek highly qualified aviation safety speakers to support your safety events. Chris Eversmann, chairman, South Carolina Aviation Safety Council This initiative is expected to improve the administrative and financial management support available to the Safety Council. The presence of SCAA/Associations Plus will provide the stability necessary to ensure the survival and future viability of the Safety Council and its mission. Palmetto Aviation Page 7

Airman Certification Standards (ACS) The Airman Certification Standards (ACS) is an enhanced version of the Practical Test Standards (PTS), and the PTS-to-ACS transition started on June 15, 2016.

8 Airman Certification Standards (ACS) The Airman Certification Standards (ACS) is an enhanced version of the Practical Test Standards (PTS), and the PTS-to-ACS transition started on June 15, The ACS adds task-specific knowledge and risk management elements to each PTS area of operation/task. The result is an integrated presentation of specific knowledge, risk management and skill elements for each task. FAA-S-ACS-6A (Change 1) Private Pilot Airplane Airman Certification Standards material in FAA-S-ACS-6A will be effective June 12, All previous editions of the Private Pilot Airplane Airman Certification Standards will be obsolete as of this date for airplane applicants. Applicant Responsibilities: The applicant is responsible for mastering the established standards for knowledge, skill and risk management elements in all tasks appropriate to the specific certificate and rating sought. The applicant should use this ACS, its references, and the practical test checklist in preparation to take the practical test. Instructor Responsibilities: The instructor is responsible for training the applicant to meet the established standards for knowledge, skill and risk management elements in all tasks appropriate to the specific certificate and rating sought. The instructor should use this ACS and its references as part of preparing the applicant to take the practical test and, if necessary, in retraining the applicant to proficiency in all subject(s) missed on the knowledge test. This responsibility also includes verifying the experience requirements specified for a certificate or rating. The integrated format of the ACS has a number of benefits: It clearly tells applicants, instructors, and evaluators what an airman must KNOW, CONSIDER and DO to pass the knowledge test and the practical test for an airman certificate or rating. - Shows how the required knowledge, risk management, and skill elements for each area of operation/task are connected. - Defines expectations and behaviors for risk management and connects them to spe cific tasks. - Puts the special emphasis items from the PTS in the right context. The ACS approach enhances safety by making tests meaningful and relevant to actual operations and con tributes to standardization in teaching and testing these concepts. In summary, the ACS provides a single-source set of standards for both the knowledge exam and the practical test. Leo Berube SCAA Director Evaluator Responsibilities: The evaluator who conducts the practical test is responsible for determining that the applicant meets the established standards of aeronautical knowledge, skills (flight proficiency) and risk management for the tasks in the appropriate ACS.

Airport News The Rebirth of Hampton/ Varnville Airport In February 2015, Hampton County Council took the first steps toward the rebirth of the Hampton/Varnville Airport.

The members have at least 250 years of combined aviation and airport related experience in every aspect of flying, from crop dusters to G-550s and from airport operations to management.

They recognize that, in today s business climate, all types of businesses in South Carolina rely on aviation for the efficiency they gain using this mode of travel and transportation.

13 Airport News The Rebirth of Hampton/ Varnville Airport In February 2015, Hampton County Council took the first steps toward the rebirth of the Hampton/Varnville Airport. The council appointed four new members, bringing the total members to seven. The members have at least 250 years of combined aviation and airport related experience in every aspect of flying, from crop dusters to G-550s and from airport operations to management. The Commission started work immediately developing and prioritizing its goals. The Council and the Commission see the airport as a key part of the County s Economic Development Program. They recognize that, in today s business climate, all types of businesses in South Carolina rely on aviation for the efficiency they gain using this mode of travel and transportation. The County Council has budgeted an average of $572,507 in local funds in the last two years for airport improvements. The council hopes that by showing their willingness to invest in our airport with local monies, they will be able to secure state and federal dollars in the future. In two years, the Council and the Airport Commission have supported and seen the implementation of Self-Service 100LL Fuel and major improvements to the small but serviceable pilots lounge. Improvements are also being seen in the safety and the visual aspects of the airport. The next phase is the construction of hangars. Tree removal from the approaches is ongoing as well. The Commission has developed plans for 10 T-Type Hangers. Next on the list will be crack sealing and resurfacing of the runway and lights. The Council and the Airport Commission recently announced a partnership with Air Methods for Air Medical Critical Care Transport in partnership with five surrounding counties. Hampton, Jasper, Beaufort, Bamberg, Barnwell and Allendale counties have come together to support the Critical Care Access by Air to our counties, according to Hampton County Administrator Rose Dobson-Elliott. The Council and Commission, along with staff, are enthusiastic about the improvements and advancements to the airport. The interest and support from the community makes all the hard work worth it, says Dobson-Elliott. The goal is to provide a safe environment and support aviation related activities in our region.
