SPAA AT WORK
The primary mission of the Seaplane Pilots Association of Australia is to provide a National representative body whose mission is to provide for it's members (and all other interested stake holders) a source of support, information and communication that positively promotes Seaplane operations.
The SPAA Executive, co-ordinators and representatives, are a collective group of professional and committed Pilots who are passionate and enthusiastic about the safety and enjoyment of Seaplane operations.
These individuals provide their time on a voluntary basis to support members and they also contribute a considerable amount of time working with local, state, and federal regulators to ensure reasonable and appropriate rules and regulation of seaplanes.
Included in this section are notices of events of public interest, informative documents describing various aspects of seaplane operations, including safety, environmental impact and noise.
