General Aviation Challenges Ahead

General Aviation Challenges Ahead

• Key Opportunities
• Research and Clarity

2

• Fatal Accident Data
• 100K hour metric is flawed an hour is not an
  hour
• FAA currently lumps a Kitfox being flown 90 of
  the time in a traffic pattern with a Gulfstream
  G-5 operating under FAR 91

3

• Technology Integration Into Aging Aircraft
• Current certification and installation process is
  complex, costly, and prohibitive.
• Example, Dynon, IPAD, easy button
• Part 23 ARC is heading the right direction, but
  more work to be done.

4

• Next Gen/ADSB Compliance
• Hardware for Compliance is north of 15K just for
  ABSB out capability.
• Industry needs low cost solutions for GA.
• Broad Spectrum
• Vintage aircraft
• Gliders, etc.

5

• NTSB GA Safety
• NTSB is taking a higher level of interest in GA
