The Awards
Nominations for Federal Aviation Awards may be submitted by an executive agency of the federal government that owned or hired aircraft during the period from January 1 - December 31, 2008, to perform their non-military missions
FEDERAL AVIATION PROGRAM AWARD (LARGE CATEGORY-ONE AWARD)

The winning program will be judged to be most outstanding, that is, the safest and most efficient and effective, in all aspects of a flight program--aviation management/ administration, operations, maintenance, training, and safety. Your fleet may be all federally owned or contractor owned aircraft, or a mix of federally owned/contractor owned aircraft. Members of the program team may include Federal employees, contractors, or DoD uniform personnel.
