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.”

Anti-icing

Definition:
Is turned on before the flight enters icing conditions. Typically this includes carburetor heat, prop heat, pitot eat, fuel vent heat, windshield heat, and fluid surface deicers (in some cases). Then when the boots deflate, a “bridge” of ice remains that cannot be shed during the next inflation cycle. Although some residual ice may remain after a boot

VASI

Definition:
Visual approach slope indicators provides visual descent guidance during the approach to a runway. The lights are arranged in bars and vary in number from two to 16.

Wing Stall

Definition:
The wing will ordinarily stall at a lower angle of attack, and thus a higher airspeed, when contaminated with ice. Even small amounts of ice will have an effect, and if the ice is rough, it can be a large effect.
