FAA Administrator Steve Dickson will address the Aero Club of Washington at its luncheon on Tuesday, November 12, 2019. In addition, there will be a presentation of the Aero Club’s Engen Trophy to Carl Burleson, FAA Deputy Assistant Administrator of Policy, International Affairs, and Environment.
Administrator Dickson was sworn in on August 12, 2019, after being confirmed for a five-year term by the U.S. Senate on July 24, 2019. He is responsible for the safety and efficiency of the largest aerospace system in the world — a system that operates more than 50,000 flights per day. He oversees a $16.4 billion-dollar budget, with more than 47,000 employees, and is focused on ensuring the agency and its employees are the best prepared and trained professionals to meet the growing demands and requirements of the industry. Administrator Dickson recently retired from service as the senior vice president of Flight Operations for Delta Air Lines.
As an industry cornerstone, the Aero Club of Washington is dedicated to providing a forum for discussion of aviation and aerospace issues and achievements. Hosting hundreds of national and international aerospace leaders at its monthly luncheon meetings over the years, the Aero Club has fostered and promoted interest in the principles and development of aeronautics since 1909
