General Aviation Safety and Security Practices Capt. ELhadi Y. Nour AM 645 March /20/2010 SUMMARY Over the past 40 years, safety in the general aviation arena has greatly improved. The reasons are many and include improved aircraft reliability, pilot training enhancements, and better weather reporting capabilities. One often overlooked contributor to this safety record is the contribution made on the ground by general aviation airport operators, as well as those fixed

General Aviation Value Analysis – The Comparison This General Aviation Value Analysis will provide a comparison between commercial aviation and a business jet. To help with this comparison a short distance and a long distance trip will be used. Both trips will be a business trip in nature and each include myself and three additional colleagues. The business trip is set for July 12th. The departure location is Seattle, WA to Boise, ID (short trip) and Seattle, WA to Houston, TX (long trip). The analysis

General Aviation Aircraft Value Analysis A value analysis of four different modes of transportation was conducted to assess which would be the most economical by means of time and expense. Two separate trips were analyzed. The first, a relatively shorter trip of 1200 miles round trip from Detroit Michigan to Nashville Tennessee. The second, a longer trip of 2800 round trip miles from Detroit to Miami Florida. Three colleagues were used as a baseline for costs for all modes of transportation. The

(Associated Press, 2003). These attacks changed the security of aviation throughout the nation. After 9/11, the image of general aviation (GA) was tarnished because the 9/11 hijackers trained in small GA aircraft in the United States (Elias, 2010). Even though the hijackers trained on GA aircraft the area of aviation that experienced the largest overhaul is screening at public airports. Many experts say that since general aviation airports vary intensely in characteristics it would be difficult

classified when it was unveiled in 1982 (Wells, 2011). The aviation industry had grown significantly since deregulation went into effect, and a new system needed to be put in place that would distinguish airports with incredible growth and expansion from those that served niche markets or flight training (Wells). Under the NPIAS, airports were broken down into three major categories: commercial services airports, reliever airports, and general aviation airports (Wells). The following paragraphs describe

Board member on the West Orange Airport Authority (WOAA) responsible for the construction and operations of a new General Aviation airport in western Orange county Florida. In his capacity as WOAA board member Phil was involved in the feasibility study, site selection study, and was instrumental in lobbying state and local

General aviation (GA) could be defined as aviation pertaining to non-military as well as scheduled military aircrafts. General aviation within the United States includes over 5000 public airports, generates over $200 billion dollars in revenue and supports close to a million jobs. For the year 2014, pilots have logged over 23 million hours of flight, two-thirds were primarily for the purpose of business. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reports that the fleet of aircrafts in the GA sector

impacts associated with NextGen Technologies. Furthermore, we will review the impact of general aviation on capacity at SEA-TAC. Regarding aviation demand as a historical and predicted growth measure at SEA-TAC, there has been a significant departure from the predicted rates in the previous two years. More specifically, using enplanements as a measure of comparative growth for predictive models, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) forecasted average growth of 2.55% annually over the period of

When many people think of aircraft investigations, they think of a large-scale airliner crash. While these types of accidents get more airtime on the television circuit, the majority of accidents occur within the general aviation community. One of the most notorious of these general aviation accidents was the accident of John F. Kennedy, Jr. His notoriety as the son of a President of the United States gave a special spotlight to this particular aircraft investigation. On that fateful night of July

General Aviation Manufacturing has been a long road full of success from the Wright Brothers, to current times. It has been helpful in the growth of the economy. General Aviation is defined as all aviation other than military and commercial airlines. “General aviation flights range from gliders and powered parachutes to corporate jet flights. The majority of the world’s air traffic falls into this category, and most of the world’s airports serve general aviation exclusively” (General Aviation)
