ALL SITE USERS - READ & AGREE TO BEFORE ENTERING!

SCAUWG.ORG is an independently owned and privately maintained website. Our website is operated as a non-commercial site, and on a volunteer basis.  It was initiated in 2018.  SCAUWG.ORG was formed with the mission in mind to both support and publicize the work of Aviation Airspace educators, as well as to publicize the entire world of aviation including airport advocacy.  It has been published and sponsored entirely by the webmaster. SCAUWG.ORG has always addressed a large aviation horizon.  Maintaining loyalty among the expanded number of visitors worldwide has always been a directive. Furthermore, with the support and inspiration of local aviator Pat Carey, the chance that our content might influence the greater sphere of aviation safety as a whole has always driven site goals and leadership.

SCAUWG.ORG will try to publicize the positive achievements of all aviation groups and associations.

SCAUWG.ORG is spirited by our founding contributing editor members and by additional aviation professionals from the aviation industry. We are determined to effectively interact with each other to resolve airspace-related, education, and airport advocacy problems and thereby improve aviation safety, utility, and efficiency in the Southern California region and beyond. As such, we are proud to associate with National Aviation Associations that support Pilots and Aviation Safety.  

SCAUWG.ORG seeks to maintain a forum that allows all facets of the aviation industry to provide input to the public via our site, PR releases regular website reports issued to the public, and our select email list that visitors are invited to sign up for.  SCAUWG.ORG is a vehemently active supporter of the FAA WINGS Pilot Proficiency program.  SCAUWG.ORG invites all FAA Airspace Advisories, LTAs, TFR Information, PR data, and Event listings to be submitted so that they can be published.  Our mission includes, but is not limited to the following:

  1. To educate and inform the public, local and national elected officials, and media with respect to aviation safety and airspace utilization.
  2. The development of airspace design to more efficiently accommodate increases in air traffic capacity at the region’s airports.
  3. To improve access for VFR traffic into and out of the region’s airports in addition to VFR transition routes.
  4. To simplify airspace design and charting for the VFR user.
  5. To provide for the flexibility of helicopters and new technologies while enhancing compatible use of airspace.
  6. To develop recommendations to the FAA for improvements in aviation safety.
  7. To monitor ongoing FAA efforts with relationship to airspace design and activity.
  8. 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 name as of September 2024, The Southern California Aviation United Working Group, was chosen to differentiate our site from any other. SCAUWG.ORG has no association with Southern California Airspace Working Group (SCAUWG), Additionally, this was clearly defined and announced by John Ringle, SCAUWG Co-Chairman to those who attended SCAUWG's  public meeting on Jan. 14, 2025. The SCAUWG group preferring to discuss only Airspace Issues, never produced, maintained, contributed to, or financed the SCAUWG.ORG site. Rather, SCAUWG.ORG 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. produced and maintained independently. Proceeding forward (from September 2024) the Southern California Aviation United Working Group wishes SCAUWG (the group) the best of continued success and looks forward to continuing the publication of group achievements, as it does for other groups and associations as well.

Those who choose to ENTER the SCAUWG.ORG site are advised to consult their own aviation professionals for advice regarding any content on the SCAUWG.ORG site.  Opinions expressed by the authors of articles linked to may or may not represent those of SCAUWG, any of the SCAUWG membership base, or the SCAUWG.ORG leadership.   SCAUWG.ORG does NOT take a political position concerning current or past events but is committed to making pertinent Aviation and Safety Concerns that can affect our community well known, and that includes publishing commentary. Those with opposing viewpoints to any article SCAUWG.ORG publishes, or links to, are invited to send their input to the webmaster using the site's CONTACT US page for publication consideration.
