The education and experience of these individuals make them excellent choices to help continue the changes we ve put in place at the FAA into the 21st century. Twelve members are leaving the committee following a meeting at the end of January. I commend them for their dedicated service and invite them to remain active participants in subcommittee activities. The committee considers aviation research needs in the areas of air traffic services, airports, aircraft safety, security, human factors, and environment and energy. The committee has 30 members representing corporations, universities, associations, consumers and government agencies.
Members serve two-year terms.
Dr. Andres Zellweger, FAA's director of aviation research, serves as executive director of the committee.
