Survey Demographics What is highest pilot certificate you hold…

60% are instrument rated pilots… Survey Demographics

A majority of the pilots fly for pleasure not for a living… Survey Demographics

Pleasure flights make up most of the flight hours flown in the last 12 months… Survey Demographics

Own a general aviation aircraft. Survey Demographics

Are you optimistic or pessimistic about the future of GA? General Aviation Environment

A Majority of those surveyed feel the economic environment for general aviation has some turbulent skies ahead. General Aviation Environment

However, those seeing a positive economic outlook have risen dramatically since General Aviation Environment

The majority of GA pilots feel the political climate will have a negative impact on general aviation. General Aviation Environment

Overall, there has been 11% total difference in the flying habits of GA pilots since 2003 General Aviation Environment   7% fly less   4% fly more.   7% fly less   4% fly more.

Federal Aviation Administration The following areas of the FAA were identified as in the most need of improvement

Federal Aviation Administration Pilots agree the following areas within the FAA are sound and need little improvement  Safety Programs  FSS-weather services  Enforcement of regulations.  Safety Programs  FSS-weather services  Enforcement of regulations.

Transportation Security Administration The TSA's lack of understanding of General Aviation, remains the #1 concern of GA pilots

94% of GA pilots vote in state/local as well as Presidential elections. Strong GA Voice   National average for voter turnout is significantly lower

The majority of those surveyed feel that Congress has a negative view of general aviation GA Advocacy

Security measures mandated by congress raise concerns among pilots   46% feel that security measures will adversely affect their ability to fly. GA Advocacy

Do you believe that issues relating to homeland security threaten GA operations SecuritySecurity

Security based airspace restrictions or airport related security requirements have not affected the amount of flying for the majority (83%) of pilots. SecuritySecurity

Is it acceptable to require aircraft to install avionics equipment that provide unique aircraft identification when operating VFR anywhere… SecuritySecurity   39% say they are unacceptable regardless of the security threat/risk.

A majority (56%) of the pilots have seen a noticeable increase in airport security at their home airport since 9/11. SecuritySecurity

With this increase in security, many are concerned that enhanced airport security measures will limit the viability of GA operations from which they fly. SecuritySecurity

Should the government mandate the use of anti theft devices? SecuritySecurity

SecuritySecurity The number of pilots who support mandated anti theft devices has decreased by more than 50% since 2003.

 Noise complaints  Lack of support from local government  Lack of funding  Incompatible land use  Sale of airport  Low level of flight activity.  Noise complaints  Lack of support from local government  Lack of funding  Incompatible land use  Sale of airport  Low level of flight activity. Reasons Airports Die

The top three threats that could lead to the closure of your local airport are… Reasons Airports Die

Pilots feel their their airport operations will be restricted due to increasing community concern about noise. Reasons Airports Die
