Recently, NYAMA launched its own fan page and already has over 100 fans!

Our intent is to use the tool to network members and others interested in furthering aviation interests in New York. We will announce NYAMA events and request support for legislative efforts from time to time.

Resources to further discussion are also being posted. However, we hope that everyone will feel free to chat about any aviation topic of interest.

Feel free to send any comments or contributions for posting online to us at info@nyama.com.

Solid Peer Review Training

During the past year, NYAMA has continued to offer timely Peer Review Training opportunities:

• Airport Financial Department Issues covered a range of concerns for financial officers and discussion about how each airport is dealing with the current economic crisis.
• General Aviation Round Table offered an informal time to learn about the latest trends in the industry and to share information, ideas, and concerns facing GA airports.
• Snow/Ice Control provided a chance to see and discuss some of the equipment the SYR Maintenance Division uses as part of its Snow and Ice Control Plan.

Some of the topics addressed in the past include the following:

• Safety Management Systems
• State Grants
• Table Top Exercises
• Environmental Issues
• Wildlife Management
• Emergency Services at Small Airports
• Terminal Operations
• Part 139 Training Requirements
• ACM Requirements

If you have a topic you would like to see addressed (even if we have done it already), please contact the NYAMA office at 518-432-9973 or info@nyama.com.
