Biscayne National Park Commercial Air Tour Voluntary Agreements
Biscayne National Park » Biscayne National Park Commercial Air Tour Voluntary Agreements » Document List
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Park Service (NPS) announce the availability of two draft voluntary agreements for commercial air tour operations at Biscayne National Park.
The FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 allows the FAA and NPS to enter into a voluntary agreement with a commercial air tour operator as an alternative to an Air Tour Management Plan (ATMP). A voluntary agreement manages commercial air tour operations over the national park unit and addresses management issues necessary to protect the resources and visitor use of the park without compromising aviation safety or the air traffic control system. The FAA and NPS have decided to pursue voluntary agreements, as an alternative to an ATMP, at Biscayne National Park.
The voluntary agreements establish conditions for the conduct of air tours over the Park. These conditions include routes and altitudes, number of operations, type of aircraft, hours of operations, and reporting requirements.
