What is the NC Aeronautics Council?

The NC Aeronautics Council was established under North Carolina General Statute Chapter 143B and is the state's aviation advisory board. The statute requires a 15-member board with one member from each of North Carolina's 13 U.S. Congressional districts and two at-large members. The Council is to advise the Secretary of Transportation in the issuance of aviation loans and grants and other matters the Secretary may refer to them. At least four of the members must "possess a broad knowledge of aviation and airport development." All members have some aviation background either in civil or military aviation, airport matters, or legal affairs. Members are appointed by the Governor and serve four-year terms with half of the Council terms expiring every two years.
