On February 11th, 2021, the Oregon Department of Aviation celebrated 100 years since it's founding as the first and oldest Aviation governmental department in the US!  
 
The attached proclamation by the Governor has declared February 11th as "Oregon's Department of Aviation Day".  Get out and Fly (if it's not snowing).

Also attached is a flyer from the Oregon Aviation Historical Society.  They have mountains of history of the early days of Aviation in Oregon. In a normal year they hold pancake breakfasts during the summer, host several fly-ins, and have restored and are restoring several prominent early Oregon aircraft. If you have not visited their museum at Cottage Grove Airport, it is worth a visit once the pandemic ends.

​​Initial Drone Registrations About to Expire

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is reminding everyone whose drone registrations expire in December that the DroneZone is the FAA's official website for registration.

If you completed your drone registration directly with the FAA before the DroneZone was established in January 2018, a DroneZone account was created for you using the information you provided. Access your account by entering the same email address you used when you first registered, and by using the “forgot password" tool to establish a new password.

If you registered using a third-party service, contact that company to request your DroneZone login credentials. Otherwise, you will have to create a new account in the DroneZone and get a new registration.

Registration on the DroneZone is fast and easy and the fee is only $5 for a three-year period. All drones must be registered, except those that weigh .55 pounds or less (less than 250 grams) and are flown exclusively under the Exception for Recreational Flyers (PDF). Please do your part to keep the skies safe and renew your registration today.​

On November 24, 2020, the FAA announced its most recent information regarding the Small Community Air Service Development Program.

The Streaked Horned Lark (SHL) is currently considered a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. Streaked Horned Lark population is centered in parts of the Willamette Valley and the Northern Oregon Coast. Their habitat includes areas which are classified as sparsely vegetated grasslands for nesting such as airports. Oregon Department of Aviation's (ODA) goal is to identify and protect nesting sites yet allow for airport projects to move forward to maintain the system of airports within Oregon. ODA is closely working with both the FAA and USFWS to identify habitat locations at the various airports throughout Oregon that have been identified as potential habitat.
