To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

I am requesting the annual estimates of helicopter flight hours, broken out by make and model, generated as part of the annual General Aviation Activity Survey. I ask that you release each year's numbers for all models from 2016 until the day this request is fulfilled.

These records have been produced in the past by your agency in response to similar requests. You can find one here https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3932859-FAA-FOIA-for-helicopter-flight-hours

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Ben Welsh
