BUSINESS AND EXECUTIVE GENERAL AVIATION

The workshop on business and executive general aviation, referred to as EGA, focused on general aviation turboprop and jet aircraft since turbine aircraft are expected to play the pivotal role in establishing the path for future EGA activity. The consensus forecast developed by the Panel emphasizes economic factors, incentives, and possible or potential constraints affecting these indicators of EGA activity: (1) the changing character and organization nof participants; (2) prices and costs; (3) the private pilot pool; (4) new product development and technology; (5) infrastucture and access; and (6) general economic background conditions. Data needs and deficiencies were identified and are listed in summary form.
