| Desc | General aviation (GA) pilots throughout the United States rely on the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) to protect their freedom to fly. As the worlds largest aviation member association, AOPA advocates for the interests of general aviation pilots at all levels of government, provides the information pilots need to get the most from their flying, and delivers the tools to help keep general aviation safe, fun, and affordable. AOPA also reaches beyond the flying community to help educate decision makers and the public about the value and utility of general aviation. AOPA's work benefits not only our members, but also the entire general aviation community by helping to ensure that GA remains a vibrant and viable form of transportation and recreation for generations to come. At the same time, AOPA provides its members with an extensive portfolio of benefits that can be loosely grouped into five areas: advocacy, pilot community development, education, events, and products and services. Advocacy AOPAs advocacy arm is divided into groups responsible for legislative affairs, regulatory affairs, operations and international affairs, airports, and advocacy. Together these groups effectively manage the many issues that affect general aviation and support member interests. The government affairs staff, located in offices in Washington D.C., works to develop and maintain relationships with members of Congress to advance legislation that advances general aviation. AOPAs government affairs team also fights to prevent the imposition of mandates that make flying more costly, complicated, or restrictive. AOPAs regulatory experts inform federal agencies such as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Transportation Security Administration (TSA), National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and others whose decisions and polices affect aviation. The operations and international affairs team focuses on issues related to air traffic services and advocates for policies and procedures that ensure general aviation users enjoy access to airspace and airports, operational flexibility, and safety. This group also helps to keep members informed about the ever-changing airspace environment and they also address security matters and advocate for reasonable and appropriate security measures that recognize the unique nature of general aviation. To help organize and distribute information about AOPA's advocacy efforts to members, decision makers, and others, AOPA routinely produces hundreds of online and print stories, video segments and press releases. One of the biggest AOPA advocacy accomplishments in decades was third class medical reform known as BasicMed by the FAA. To help pilots and physicians understand the new BasicMed regulations, AOPA has launched and will continue to update a suite of online Fit to Fly resources. The central Fit to Fly element will be a free online medical course which AOPA is in the process of finalizing with the FAA. AOPA advocacy has also worked to engage transportation officials in international destinations such as the Bahamas, Canada, and Mexico to establish reciprocity for pilots flying under BasicMed. Part 23 reform was another notable advocacy victory in 2016, and in terms of legacy aircraft, AOPA completed the Garmin G5 STC and is working toward approval of autopilot projects. Simultaneously AOPA continues to pursue a more comprehensive FAA retrofit policy based on performance standards. In addition to AOPA's efforts on the federal level, the Association has a network of 7 regional managers and more than 2,200 Airport Support Network volunteers who help keep AOPA informed about the issues affecting general aviation in their communities. Working through our volunteers, regional managers, and headquarters-based staff, AOPA promotes, protects, and defends community airports; advocates to maintain sufficient state and local funding for GA airports and infrastructure; works to prevent excess state taxation on flying; and protects general aviation pilots from unnecessary or inappropriate state and local regulation. Throughout 2016, AOPA addressed more than 642 separate state legislative issues across the nation. Amongst them were several significant victories for our members, including adoption of a sales tax exemption for aircraft parts and maintenance in Vermont and Virginia. AOPA led the way in creating State Aviation Caucuses as a bicameral, bipartisan group for state legislators in Arizona, Hawaii, Maine, and Nebraska. Pilots who want to do even more to help support GA and their local airports can join the AOPA Airport Support Network. In 2016, the network continued strong with more than 2,200 volunteers in place at airports nationwide. Volunteers take a leadership role at their airports, helping to promote their airports, keep AOPA informed about potential threats, work with community leaders and neighbors, and encourage pilots to respond appropriately to concerns about the airport. YOU CAN FLY GA is facing some serious challenges including falling pilot numbers, alarming student dropout rates, high costs, and pilots who simply drift away because they lack the support and inspiration they need to keep flying. But it doesnt have to be that way. Theres no one-size-fits-all solution, but AOPA can help GA take off by simultaneously tackling these challenges with multiple, targeted programs designed to address the most common and significant obstacles our community faces. Through extensive research and real-world experience, AOPA has developed programs to support flying clubs, encourage best practices in flight training, get lapsed pilots back in the air, bring AOPAs resources and expertise to pilot groups across the country, and invite high school students to learn more about careers in aviation and aerospace. Taken together, these programs make up You Can Fly, a powerful, multifaceted approach to making flying more accessible and affordable! What makes You Can Fly so special is not just the variety of programs it encompasses, but also the rigor with which it is managed and evaluated. You Can Fly wants to tangibly move the needle when it comes to getting people flying and keeping them flying, and to do that, we are measuring our progress so we can focus our resources on what works. Flying clubs are a valuable part of the aviation landscape. Pilots involved with the most effective clubs find aviation more affordable and more accessible, and flying clubs create the type of supportive community that keeps pilots active and engaged. In response, AOPA created the Flying Club Network which is free to join and offers benefits including a premium listing in the AOPA Flying Club Finder, exclusive insurance rates, and access to networking events. The Network now has more than 800 listed flying clubs. Additionally, AOPA staff worked directly with pilots to help launch 25 new flying clubs in 2016. AOPA also continued the work that began several years ago with the Flight Training Student Retention Initiative. The Flight Training Poll was designed to measure the overall performance of a flight school or flight instructor through the eyes of its customers. The poll allows AOPA to identify the highest levels of achievement in the flight training community, with the goal of encouraging others to adopt similar characteristics of success. The top scoring schools and instructors were profiled in the Flight School Business newsletter and Flight Training magazine in order to share ideas and actions that other professionals can apply to enhance their own schools and teaching. The poll was conducted using an online survey process based on AOPAs 2011 research into the optimal flight training experience. Each individual could nominate up to one flight school and one flight instructor per year. In 2016, AOPA reached a new record of participation in the poll with 6,200 completed submissions and we recognized 70 flight schools and 60 instructors with AOPA Flight Training Excellence Awards. In 2013, AOPA commissioned research to gain a better understanding of how to keep pilots active and engaged before they become lapsed pilots. The research indicated that only a small portion of pilots are truly lapsed with no intention of returning to flying. While the rest stopped flying for various reasons (cost, time, regulations), they intend to return to flight. In response, AOPA created the Rusty Pilots program to lower the barrier to re-entry and provide lapsed pilots a way to return to flying in a matter of hours through a free session of ground school that fulfills the FAAs flight review requirement for ground instruction. Since the Rusty Pilots initiative was developed, 3,500 lapsed pilots, who have attended one of the almost 400 seminars across the country, have gone on to successfully complete their flight review. AOPA partners directly with flight schools and flying clubs around the nation in order to offer this program. After each seminar, pi | Desc |

| Explanation | The Association follows guidance that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. This guidance provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can only be recognized in the financial statements if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likeihood that the tax position may be challenged. The Association has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; to determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to identify and evaluate other matters that may be considered tax positions. The tax years ending December 31, 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2013 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes. The Association has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. | ExplanationTxt |
