SCAUWG.ORG is an independently owned and privately maintained website on a volunteer basis and was initiated in 2018 at the request of SCAUWG Co-Founder and now Co-Chairman emeritus, Pat Carey. It was formed with the mission in mind to both support and publicize the work of the Southern California Airspace Users Working Group and was published with the group's name on our masthead. But besides seeking to popularize the group's effort and its focus on Southern California airspace issues, SCAUWG.ORG has always addressed a larger horizon to attract a larger audience and maintain loyalty among the expanded number of visitors. Furthermore, with the support of Co-Chairman Emeritus Pat Carey, the chance that our content might influence the larger sphere of aviation safety aviation as a whole has always driven site leadership. Hence, SCAUWG.ORG honors the original SCAUWG charter, but also, as an independent site, SCAUWG.ORG expands the focus that due to the possible limitations of tradition and mores, SCAUWG, the group, still concentrates upon.
SCAUWG explained: SCAUWG is a committee of professionals from all segments of the Southern California aviation industry determined to effectively interact with each other to resolve airspace-related problems and improve aviation safety, utility, and efficiency in the region. SCAUWG is an entity originally formed under the aegis of the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), however for some time now has been an independent group. The organization’s Charter specifies the following objectives …
- To maintain a forum that allows all facets of the aviation industry to provide input to the FAA in the areas of aviation safety, airspace design and utilization.
- To educate and inform the public, local and national elected officials, and media with respect to aviation safety and airspace utilization.
- The development of airspace design to more efficiently accommodate increases in air traffic capacity at the region’s airports.
- To improve access for VFR traffic into and out of the region’s airports in addition to VFR transition routes.
- To simplify airspace design and charting for the VFR user.
- To provide for the flexibility of helicopters and new technologies while enhancing compatible use of airspace.
- To develop recommendations to the FAA for improvements in aviation safety.
- To monitor ongoing FAA efforts with relationship to airspace design and activity.
- To commit itself to cooperative action, including opposing views, and take the necessary steps to make a significant difference in the air transportation system.

Our new name as of September 2024, The Southern California Aviation United Working Group, was chosen to differentiate our site from SCAUWG's current leadership, as it more clearly defines SCAUWG.ORG's mission as it has been focused upon since inception in 2018. Currently, it is recognized that there is a new SCAUWG leadership that has its agenda. Furthermore, it is clearly stated that SCAUWG.ORG has no official association with SCAUWG, the group. Rather, our site is a one-stop platform featuring Pilot Resources, Aviation Education, Curated News, Commentary, Airspace Issues, Airport Data, Airport Surface Safety, Flight Planning Applications, and Airport Advocacy. Proceeding forward (from September 2024) we wish SCAUWG the best of continued success and look forward to continuing publication of group achievements.
