In 2019, GAMA, in coordination with the Aircraft Electronics Association (AEA), Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), Helicopter Association International (HAI), National Air Transportation Association (NATA) and National Business Aviation Association (NBAA), sponsored a study to quantify general aviation’s impact on the U.S. economy. The study also received support from JETNET LLC and Conklin & de Decker. The study (at right), conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers, Contribution of General Aviation to the US Economy in 2018, was released at GAMA’s State of the Industry press conference on February 19, 2020. “U.S. economic growth and opportunity coming from the general aviation industry is increasing, and this trend will only accelerate as supersonic and electrically propelled business aircraft drive deeper into their development phases.” said Pete Bunce, GAMA President and CEO. “This study confirms that general aviation continues to have a very significant impact on the U.S. economy. As an industry, we must continue to keep pace with innovation to improve safety and focus intently on workforce development by promoting the amazing career potential available to young people through general aviation.” stuDy HiGHliGHts: Nationwide 273,500 full- and part- time workers were directly employed in general aviation in 2018. Including indirect, induced, and enabled impacts, general aviation, in total, supported 1.2 million jobs and $247 billion in output. General aviation also generated $77 billion in labor income (including wages and salaries and benefits as well as proprietors’ income) and contributed $128 billion to US gross domestic product (GDP). Overall, total GDP impact attributable to general aviation amounted to approximately $393 per person in the United States in 2018. At the national level, each direct job in the general aviation industry supported 3.3 jobs elsewhere in the economy. Total Jobs is defined as the number of payroll and self-employed jobs, including part-time jobs.

The effects of the shutdown were felt throughout the industry, from certifying and modifying products, maintaining and repairing aircraft and systems, keeping the training and approval system for new and existing pilots on schedule, and the ability of operators to put new aircraft into service. This latest shutdown weakened the health and vitality of aviation manufacturing and the overall industry. Throughout the shutdown, GAMA prioritized keeping its membership informed, addressing issues where possible, and helped companies with their post-shutdown planning. GAMA urged the President and Congress to act in a bipartisan manner to fund the federal government and end the shutdown. Following the shutdown, a bipartisan bill was introduced to enable the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to leverage and temporarily draw from the Airport and Airway Trust fund in the event of a future government shutdown. The Aviation Funding and Stability Act of 2019 (H.R. 1108) is supported by GAMA and numerous other aviation stakeholders. This bill would provide targeted stability for the aviation system to function, including air traffic and critical elements of aviation safety. GAMA President and CEO testified before the U.S. House of Representatives Transportation and Infrastructure Aviation Subcommittee about the impacts of the shutdown on the general aviation manufacturing, aircraft maintenance, and pilots training industries. GAMA is committed to mitigating the consequences of any future government shutdown on the FAA and general aviation industry. General Aviation overview for the European Commission GAMA hosted the European Commission’s Head of Unit for Aviation Safety, Joachim Luecking, and his team responsible for EU aviation safety regulation and oversight, for a “GA Info Day” near Brussels, Belgium, in September. The day included visits to Luxaviation and their maintenance facility at Zaventem airport which was followed by a stop at the general aviation Aerodrome de Namur. The day also included the opportunity to enjoy a demonstration flight on board a new Sonaca 200 aircraft, as well as a tour of the company’s new production facilities. A new EAsA Basic Regulation Industry began work on the implementation of the update to the common rules of civil aviation establishing the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), Regulation (EU) 2018/1139. This new safety framework contains many priorities for GAMA members and the broader aviation industry. The new EASA Basic Regulation (BR) establishes a simpler and more appropriate pathway for the certification of certain general aviation aircraft by enabling the development of the lighter version of Part 21 now underway. The BR also establishes a framework for sharing GA safety data among EU Member States and allows organizations to obtain EU-wide approvals in place of redundant approvals with each state, enabling more consistent and efficient implementation of European safety requirements. An Eye on Certification Reforms In the wake of the tragic Boeing 737 MAX accidents, there have been several reviews initiated to look at various aspects of the FAA’s aircraft certification process. While these investigations have focused on issues specific to the certification of the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, they also have reviewed and made recommendations to improve the overall certification process. 6 |12.345367 847 GAMA | 2019 D AtAbook Throughout this process, GAMA has acted as a resource to congressional members and staff to engage, encourage dialogue, and answer questions. Additionally, GAMA has conducted significant outreach to other key stakeholders. For example, GAMA has met with members and staff of the Special Committee charged with making recommendations to DOT Secretary Chao about the FAA Certification Process multiple times. GAMA has also worked with DOT, FAA, and NTSB to share information as well as answer any questions. This outreach is being conducted to educate about the rationale and strength of the certification process, but also to suggest targeted ways to improve the certification system and avoid negative, unintended consequences. The association has also worked to provide policymakers with a better understanding of the certification process and to continue GAMA’s standing as a credible and constructive resource. Additionally, the year started with industry submitting recommendations of the Safety Oversight and Certification Aviation Rulemaking Committee (SOCARC) to the FAA. Co-chaired by GAMA member company Bell, the SOCARC provided a set of priorities to strengthen the product certification and validation process, including recommendations about FAA oversight and establishing a manufacturer compliance assurance system. A key component of the ARC’s input is the integration of the FAA Aircraft Certification and the Flight Standards offices’ oversight of certification and operational evaluations through joint program management. Recommendation of specific importance is that the FAA—working with international partners—take steps to fully leverage bilateral agreements, type validation processes, and the recognition of each regulator’s safety oversight. sAF shifting from Demonstration to Common use Students from Hayesville High School at Glasair in Arlington, Washington. 7th Annual Aviation Design Challenge Over 130 schools registered to participate and learn about the science of flight, airplane design, and career options in the 7th design challenge. Participating schools were provided with complementary “Fly to Learn” curriculum and X-Plane software. The first-place team from Hayesville High School in North Carolina spent two weeks at Glasair Aviation to experience aviation manufacturing first-hand. The second-place team from Erie I BOCES Harkness Career and Technical Center in Cheektowaga, New York won a two- day Redbird Flight Simulations STEM Lab Camp experience. The 2019 competition was supported by generous sponsorship by Boeing Global Services, Bombardier Aviation, Cirrus Aircraft, Click Bond, Inc., Dassault Falcon, Embraer, ForeFlight, Garmin, GE Aviation, Glasair Aviation, Gulfstream Aerospace Corp., Hartzell Propeller, Jet Aviation, Jet Support Services Inc., Lycoming Engines, Pratt & Whitney Canada, Redbird Flight Simulations, Signature Aviation, Textron Aviation, Uber, and Wipaire. The use of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) is key to the industry’s Business Aviation Commitment on Climate Change, which, among other aims, seeks to achieve carbon neutral growth from 2020 forward. SAF demonstration events were hosted during the year, including at Van Nuys, California, in January, European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) in May, and the National Business Aviation Association’s (NBAA) convention in October. Manufacturers conducted flights to the EBACE convention in Geneva with SAF from Caen Carpiquet Airport in France, Stockholm Arlanda Airport in Sweden, and Republic Airport in the United States. The objective is to bring SAF into common use by demonstrating its use as a drop-in alternative. The use of SAF builds on the industry having delivered a 40 percent fuel efficiency improvement over the last 40 years through improved aircraft and component designs, new materials, and manufacturing processes. 7 |121.. | 2019 D AtAbook 2 019 in Re v ie w eVtol and simplified Vehicle operations Several initiatives advanced during the year to enable electric propulsion and urban air mobility (UAM) operations. A Simplified Vehicle Operations white paper that outlines one approach to increased autonomy was published by GAMA in May. EASA publishing a Special Condition in July for electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft was an important step toward establishing regulatory pathways for these vehicles. A separate Special Condition for electric and hybrid propulsion was published in December. GAMA also developed plans for establishing means of compliance to both EASA and FAA regulations to meet the needs of the eVTOL community, specifically identifying tasks delegated to ASTM, EUROCAE, RTCA, and SAE, important standards groups working in the aviation space. GAMA, in coordination with NBAA, also assessed UAM against Part 135 and 91 operating regulations, and to the current EASA and FAA pilot licensing/ certification and training requirements. Advancing safety in Partnership with Eu and us Regulators GAMA, in partnership with International AOPA, conducted a General Aviation Survey in Europe which covered over 6,000 aircraft in 32 countries. The survey results were jointly analyzed with EASA and improved the accuracy of the accident rates published in EASA’s Annual Safety Review, helping to inform safety priorities. Preliminary U.S. accident data for 2019 points to an increase in the total number of fatal general aviation and on-demand Part 135 accidents by approximately 5.2% compared to 2018. Efforts to make ATC modernization activities will continue into the new decade. February 5,2020 is the compliance date for data link equipage for certain aircraft in European airspace, and June 6, 2020 for Mode S and ADS-B transponders upgrades. Other mandates, especially for ADS-B, are pending in Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, and South Africa. Aviation security in the 21st Century The aviation community continues to face an evolving threat environment. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Modernization Act was enacted as part of the FAA Reauthorization in 2018. The Act directs the TSA to work with industry to modernize existing security programs, including those applicable to general aviation and Part 135 operators. The TSA Aviation Security Advisory Committee continues to provide an important forum to address the priorities identified by the U.S. Congress. Two important proposals to establish standards for aviation cybersecurity were introduced during summer 2019. EASA, building on cooperative activities in the Aircraft System Information Security / Protection (ASISP) working group, issued draft cybersecurity airworthiness standards for general aviation and transport category aircraft. EASA also presented a regulatory framework for security risk management. GAMA will continue to work with EASA and the FAA to ensure the general aviation industry maintains momentum in addressing cybersecurity threats through a risk- based framework. 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 9,050 24,859 42,133 64,289 108,648 Aircraft Equipped with ADS-B the product approval process more effective and efficient, and working cooperatively to determine common accident causes under the General Aviation Joint Steering Committee and U.S. Helicopter Safety Team have resulted in long-term improvements in safety. The safety focus remains on addressing loss-of-control in flight, controlled flight into terrain, unintended flight into IMC, and mitigating the risk of power plant failures. The data from 2019, however, calls for doubling-down on these joint industry and government activities. Air traffic Modernization Milestones An important milestone was reached for Air Traffic Control modernization. The U.S. mandate for automatic dependent surveillance—broadcast (ADS–B) enabled transponder and surveillance equipment entered into effect at the end of the year. Significant work between stakeholders and the FAA helped support reaching the compliance date. Over 108,000 aircraft were equipped with ADS-B when the mandate entered into force on January 1, 2020. 8 |121.. | 2019 D AtAbook 2019 mARkET ovERvIE w GAMA gathers aircraft shipment data from 39 manufacturers. A detailed overview of these statistics is available in Chapter One of this data book. The report also contains detailed aircraft registry data from 47 countries, representing the vast majority of the market for general aviation aircraft deliveries. Aircraft shipments and Billings General aviation aircraft deliveries reached a value of $27.3 billion in 2019, an increase compared to $24.3 billion the prior year. Overall airplane deliveries increased while helicopter deliveries contracted. The delivery of piston airplanes experienced the largest growth among the segments at 16.4% at 1,324 units delivered compared to 2018 at 1,137 units. Business jet shipments also increased from 703 to 809 units, the largest number of business jet deliveries since 2009. Turboprop shipments were down by approximately 11.3% in 2019. The piston engine airplane market in North America accounted for 66.4% of overall shipments. The second largest market for piston airplanes for the fifth year in a row was the Asia- Pacific market at 12.8%. Turboprop airplane shipments to North American customer accounted for 50.3%. The second largest market for turboprop airplane deliveries was Latin America at 16.8% in 2019. The North American market accounted for 67.1% of business jet deliveries in 2019, a continued expansion of that market share compared to the past decade. The second largest market for business jet deliveries during the year was Europe at 14.3%. Helicopter deliveries decreased in 2019 compared to the prior year. A total of 698 turbine civil/commercial certificated rotorcraft were delivered. Additionally, 179 piston helicopters were delivered compared to 281 in 2018. Aircraft Fleet The turbine business airplane fleet reached 38,448 airplanes according to JETNET LLC. This is an increase of over 8,800 airplanes compared to a decade earlier, an increase of 29%. There were 31,839 rotorcraft worldwide at the end of 2019, including 22,236 turbine and 9,603 piston engine powered. The overall rotorcraft fleet expanded by 0.6% during the calendar year. The fractional aircraft industry is in its third decade of operation and remains an important pathway to accessing general aviation aircraft. The fleet grew slightly in 2019 to 860 aircraft according to JETNET LLC. u.s. Pilot Population Growing The aviation industry is going through a peak demand cycle for pilots. The bulk of primary pilot training takes place in general aviation aircraft. As seen in the statistics for piston airplane deliveries, flight schools are expanding their fleets in response to the demand for training. FAA data also shows that more persons are seeking flight training and obtaining pilot certificates. According to the FAA, 197,665 student certificates were active at the end of 2019, compared to 167,804 the year prior, a 17.8% increase.
