WHAT IS GENERAL AVIATION?

General Aviation is defined as all aviation other than military and commercial airlines Private Operations Charter Operations Aerial Work Operations

Scope of General Aviation (In the U.S.)

Over 211,000 airplanes Over 27 million flight hours More than 5,000 communities rely exclusively Directly contributes more than $41 billion Shipments and Billings

FUTURE VISION OF GA AIRPLANES

Discussion Scenarios Integrated “All-Glass” Cockpit Very Light Jets Supersonic Business Jets

Talking Points for Each Scenario General Description Challenges Opportunities


Integrated “All-Glass” Cockpit

Electronic display and control of all primary flight instrument and Nav/Com functions Increased functionality and situational awareness

Improved Safety Increased Ease of Use

70%-85% of new piston-airplanes in 2005


Integrated “All-Glass” Cockpit (Cont.)

Challenges Ensure understanding of use and capabilities Transition from traditional to “glass” Transition from “glass” to “glass”

Opportunities Training

Type-rating FAA-Industry Training Standard (FITS)

Design Standardize essential functions

o GAMA Publication No. 12, Recommended Practices and Guidelines for an Integrated Cockpit/Flightdeck in a 14 CFR Part 23 (or equivalent) airplane

o AC 23-23, Standardization Guide for Integrated Cockpits in Part 23 Airplanes


Very Light Jets

Why a New “Very Light Jet” Category Availability of cost-effective technologies

Engines Avionics

Strong outlook for business jet market

Very Light Jet Programs (Announced)

Adam A700 Cessna Mustang Diamond D-Jet Eclipse 500 Embraer VLJ HondaJet Others…


Very Light Jets (Cont.)

Challenges and Opportunities Part 23 Airworthiness Standards Not

Appropriate Special Conditions FAA Aviation Rulemaking Committee

Recommendation for Part 23 Amendment

Safety Considerations for Introduction of Very Light Jet Category Airplanes

Training standards (type rating)o Manufacturer required training and performanceo Insurance company requirements

Other issues?

Safety Considerations for Potential “Air-Taxi” Systems appropriate for large “fleet” operators Other issues?


Supersonic Business Jets

Supersonic Business Jet (SSBJ) Could Be Technically Feasible in About 10 Years Industry and government research indicates

that technology barriers can be overcome Noise reduced to sonic “swoosh” or “click”

A segment of the market will pay for speed SSBJ Experience will be applied to transport

Several Manufacturers Evaluating SSBJ Design principles

Operate in current NAS environment Airport and ground support requirements

equivalent to commercial airplanes Must be able to operate globally


Supersonic Business Jets (Cont.)

Challenges Regulatory Barriers to SSBJ Development

Supersonic flight not permitted over land No supersonic noise standard

Opportunities Establish performance-based noise standard for

supersonic airplanes Through ICAO, industry and authorities pursue

efforts to identify acceptable perceived noise level Critical to support SSBJ development (“target”)

Establish operational requirements for SSBJ ICAO SARP

Replace regulatory prohibitions with performance and safety standards
