Background
The National Parks Air Tour

advisory group was established in
March 2001, and is comprised of a
balanced group of representatives of
general aviation, commercial air tour
operations, environmental concerns,
and Native American tribes. The
Administrator of the FAA and the
Director of NPS (or their designees)
serve as ex officio members of the
group. Representatives of the
Administrator and Director serve
alternating 1-year terms as chairman of
the advisory group.

[the Act] and the amendments made by

taken to accommodate the interests of
visitors to national parks; and
(4) At the request of the Administrator
and the Director, safety, environmental,
and other issues related to commercial
air tour operations over a national park
or tribal lands.’’
