You may not realise, but the FAA has just changed the rules on accessing certain documents. It says it is doing this to protect personal information, but this had chilling effect on deals. Oklahoma lawyers and title companies now no longer have full access to things like:

• Bills of sale filed for an aircraft but not yet recorded
• Mortgages filed with the FAA and in the process for recording
• Leases filed with the FAA and in the process for recording
• Mechanics and artisan’s liens filed against an aircraft
• Notices of deregistration from foreign civil aircraft registries, a precondition to the FAA processing any Bill of Sale and Aircraft Registration Application to result in U.S. registration of the aircraft
• Letters to change or reserve a specific N number
• Letters from the FAA rejecting the filing of a specific document and requesting additional information before processing the same for recordation.

In this emergency Town Hall we will look at why it has been introduced, ways that the process could be revised and how the industry can help the FAA recognise the issue.

Speakers:
Jack Gilchrist, Gilchrist Aviation Law
Scott McCreary, McAffee & Taft
Bob Kalsu, Crowe & Dunlevy

Results from CJI and Viasat’s latest survey have indicated that expectations around business aviation connectivity have evolved considerably. Traditional speed-based plans are now outdated, especially those that advertise a top-speed without details around when, where and how frequently it will be achieved. Instead, savvy business aviation customers have broadened their focus to the overall experience. So, are the days of speed test decision-making finally over? And what is the new definition of world-class connectivity for business aviation?

Speakers will include:

Arno van der Kraan, Viasat

Claudio D’Amico, Viasat

Melinda Janda, Viasat
