FAA Chief Dickson Stresses Collaboration at NBAA Town Hall
A year into his term as FAA Administrator, Steve Dickson discusses business aviation concerns with NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen.

 Almost a year after he was sworn in for a five-year term as FAA Administrator, Steve Dickson participated in a virtual town hall with NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen yesterday. Dickson reflected on the extraordinary events confronting the agency in his first year, stressed the need for collaboration, and agreed that rulemakings such as the recent pilot records database (PRD) proposal should not cause unintended consequences. While he could not promise that he would address every concern that Bolen outlined in the town hall, Dickson encouraged continued communication and said the industry’s thoughts would be taken into consideration.
