Moran Hails Passage Of Aviation Act
Legislation Improves Safety, Reduces Delays, and Increases Competition
Washington, D.C. — Congressman Jerry Moran today announced that the Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21), H.R. 1000, passed the House of Representatives increasing aviation funding to $40 billion over three years. The aviation bill also means that tax dollars collected from air travelers on aviation services will now be required to go toward aviation improvements for airport capacity and safety, similar to the concept applied in the highway transportation bill Moran helped pass. “The FAA reauthorization agreement puts more money into Kansas’ airports and general aviation safety efforts,” said Moran. “This is good news throughout Kansas. It makes sense to spend aviation tax dollars on aviation improvements and passenger safety.”
For Kansas this bill: • Provides increased funding for Kansas community airports • Increases the investment in air safety • Establishes a program to help communities with high air fares attract additional air service
Under the aviation bill, primary airports will receive $1 million per year for safety and capacity concerns. General aviation airports will qualify for funding up to $150,000 per year. The Essential Air Service program will also receive $50 million in mandatory funding, with an additional $15 million in discretionary spending available through appropriated funding.
“Kansas airports and passengers will benefit from the additional funding for airport improvements,” said Moran. “Air transportation has made all of our lives more convenient. This bill recognizes the importance of aviation and puts safety first by funding the necessary maintenance that air travel requires.”
Private pilots must be at least 17 years old and have a minimum of 40 hours of flight time
The actual average is about 65 hours), including 20 hours of instruction and 10 hours solo. Pilots trained according to accelerated curricula defined in Part 141 of the Federal Aviation Regulations may be certified with a minimum of 35 hours. Private pilots may not fly for hire but may share equally with their passengers the direct expenses of a flight – specifically, fuel, oil, airport transient parking/landing fees, and aircraft rental charges.

Wake turbulence is a concern whenever small aircraft share an airport with larger ones. The powerful vortices that spiral off the wing tips of heavier aircraft—turboprops and business jets, as well as airliners— can suddenly and unexpectedly toss a small airplane out of control.

An abrupt change from climb to straight-and-level flight can excessively stimulate the sensory organs for gravity and linear acceleration, creating the illusion of tumbling backwards.
