As the voice of the aerial application industry, NAAA works to preserve aerial application s place in the protection and production of America s food and fiber supply. Aerial application is one of the safest, fastest, most efficient and economical ways to apply pesticides. It is also the most environmentally friendly tool of modern agriculture. In addition to controlling insects, weeds and diseases that threaten crops, aerial applicators protect human health and our natural resources.
Aerial applicators are highly trained professionals.
Like all Americans, they are concerned with human health, the environment and performing their job in a responsible manner. NAAA promotes high standards for the industry through flight safety and drift minimization. The Washington-DC based National Agricultural Aviation Association, organized in 1967, has more than 1,250 members in the United States and internationally. Membership includes owners of aerial application businesses, pilots, manufacturers of airplanes, engines and equipment, and those in related businesses.
