History

The commission was created by the Oklahoma Legislature in 1963. Its predecessor was the Oklahoma Aviation Commission.

Leadership

The Aeronautics Commission is under the supervision of the Secretary of Transportation. Under current Governor of Oklahoma Mary Fallin, Mike Patterson is serving as the Secretary.

The commission is composed of seven members, each appointed by the Governor of Oklahoma. Each member serves a six-year term. One member is appointed from among each of Oklahoma's congressional districts with the remaining two appointed from the State at-large. To be appointed to the commission, a member must be a citizen of the State with at least three years experience in aeronautics activities. The governor may remove any member of the commission for inefficiency or neglect of duty.

As of FY17, the members of the commission are as follows:

  • Chairman Michael Ray - District 3
  • Secretary Dr. David Conway - District 2
  • Kevin Potter - District 1
  • Vice Chair Wes Stucky - District 4
  • Dave Amis, III - District 5
  • Joe Harris - At-Large
  • Jerry Hunter - At-Large

Budget

The Aeronautics Commission is a non-appropriated State agency. As such, it does not rely upon annual appropriations from the Oklahoma Legislature in order to function. Instead, the commission is funded by a dedicated 0.0008% tax on motor fuels bought for aircraft use and a dedicated 3.25% tax on the purchase of aircraft. Those two dedicated taxes make up 80% of the commission's annual budget. The remaining 20% comes from federal grants and other fees for the commission's services. About half of that budget is dedicated to providing assistance to local airport improvement projects. The remainder is used to operate the agency and to provide educational activities to inform the public about aeronautics.
