2005 Europe/US International Aviation Safety Conference, Cologne 7-9 June 5 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

2005 Europe/US International Aviation Safety Conference, Cologne 7-9 June 7 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
8
2005 Europe/US International Aviation Safety Conference, Cologne 7-9 June 8 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
9
2005 Europe/US International Aviation Safety Conference, Cologne 7-9 June 9 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 oGAMA Publication No. 12, Recommended Practices and Guidelines for an Integrated Cockpit/Flightdeck in a 14 CFR Part 23 (or equivalent) airplane oAC 23-23, Standardization Guide for Integrated Cockpits in Part 23 Airplanes

2005 Europe/US International Aviation Safety Conference, Cologne 7-9 June 11 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) oManufacturer required training and performance oInsurance company requirements Other issues? Safety Considerations for Potential “Air-Taxi” Systems appropriate for large “fleet” operators Other issues?
12
2005 Europe/US International Aviation Safety Conference, Cologne 7-9 June 12 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
13
2005 Europe/US International Aviation Safety Conference, Cologne 7-9 June 13 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
