Corporate profits are up, the economy is recovering, flight hours are inching higher around the globe, the used jet inventory continues to slowly decline, key emerging markets show positive growth and the availability of financing is improving. In addition, it is anticipated that tax provisions passed by the U.S. Congress and signed by President Obama at the end of 2010 will help provide further incentives for aircraft sales and upgrades. General aviation manufacturers experienced another challenging year that required many companies to continue to make careful decisions about production schedules, employment and product development. ShipmEntS And billinGS Worldwide shipments of general aviation airplanes fell for the third year in row. In 2010, 2,015 units were delivered around the globe, as compared to 2,274 units in 2009, an 11.4 percent decline. Worldwide general aviation billings, nevertheless, rose by 1.2 percent in 2010 to $19.7 billion. This increase in billings, as compared to the reduction in shipments, is in large part due to deliveries of large-cabin, long-range aircraft remaining relatively stable during the recession and their delivery rates increasing in 2010. buSinESS JEtS The business jet sector declined for the second year in a row. Manufacturers shipped 763 units, as compared to 870 jets in 2009. This is a 12.3 percent decline. The lighter end of the business jet segment felt the brunt of the pain due in part to higher dependence on third-party financing, which became more difficult to secure in the economic downturn. This segment also has more exposure to the fractional market. turbopropS There were 363 turboprop airplane deliveries in 2010, a 17.7 percent decline from 441 units shipped in 2009. The total value of turboprop deliveries in 2010 was $1.3 billion. piStonS In years past, the piston market has reacted positively to an improving economy ahead of the other two sectors. It is too early to determine if this will hold true for the current economic downturn, but the piston segment continued to suffer in 2010. Shipments totaled 889 units, an 7.7 percent decrease from 963 units in 2009.

For the second year in a row, the share of business jet deliveries going to the North American market was below fifty percent. In 2010, 42.1 percent of business jets deliveries were to North American customers, as compared to 49.4 percent in 2009. Europe accounted for 22.8 percent of the shipments in 2010, Latin America followed with 14.3 percent, Asia Pacific at 11.8 percent and the Middle East and Africa with 9.0 percent. Additionally, the turboprop segment saw deliveries outside North America exceed those within the region for the first time in history. GAMA expects the industry to sustain this market structure as more of the world’s economies expand their use of general aviation to facilitate commerce and build global businesses. In the turboprop sector, the North American market accounted for 43.8 percent of the units shipped worldwide. The remaining turboprop deliveries were split somewhat evenly between the Asia Pacific region with 16.3 percent, Europe at 15.2 percent and Latin America at 14.6 percent, while 10.2 percent of new turboprop aircraft went to the Middle East and Africa. The breakdown of deliveries by region for the piston segment also continued to shift away from North America to other regions. While two-thirds of deliveries were to North American customers as recently as 2007, 53.4 percent of pistons were delivered to this region in 2010. Europe followed with 18.6 percent as the second largest market. The largest growth over the past four years has been to the Asia Pacific region, increasing from 9.2 percent of the deliveries in 2007 to 13.7 percent in 2010. Latin America took 8.8 percent of the deliveries this year, while the Middle East and Africa took 5.5 percent. Even in a downturn, the general aviation industry remains one of the only sectors in U.S. manufacturing that still contributes positively to the balance of trade. In 2010, GAMA’s U.S. members generated $4.9 billion is new airplane export revenue. These exports accounted for 61.8 percent of the total value of U.S. manufactured general aviation airplanes, far outpacing the value of domestic deliveries and significantly up from last year’s 50.8 percent of revenue. corporAtE And frActionAl ownErShipS According to JETNET, LLC, in 2010, worldwide fractional share owners decreased for the second year in a row to 4,862. The number of fractional owners is down 6.1 percent from its peak of 5,179 in 2008. Corresponding to this trend, the total number of airplanes in fractional ownership programs was down by ten aircraft in 2010 as compared to the previous year. The number of worldwide corporate operators of general aviation airplanes remained relatively steady in 2010, with a slight increase of 3.5 percent to 18,229 operators. The worldwide corporate fleet also grew to 31,110 airplanes, a 5 percent increase. uSEd mArKEt The current condition of the used general aviation airplane market has a direct impact upon the health of the new airplane market. One key indicator that has been closely followed since the downturn in 2008 is the size of the used jet inventory as measured by airplanes for sale as a percentage of the active fleet. The used business jet inventory in December 2010 was 14.8 percent of the active fleet. This is 1.5 percentage points lower than in December 2009. Although this trend continues to move in the right direction, it is still above the historical average. The turboprop fleet has fared better in the recession and also experienced positive movement last year going from 11.2 percent of the active fleet for sale at the end of 2009 to 10.6 percent at the end of 2010. JETNET tracking of sales of used airplanes, however, does indicate that average asking prices for both business jets and turboprops remained depressed during 2010 and that the average time to sell was up for both segments. GENERAL AVIATION MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION 6 fAA rEAuthorizAtion The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reauthorization bill remained stalled in 2010 and the 17th short-term extension of FAA programs and funding was put into place before adjournment of the 111th Congress at the end of December. GAMA believes that once again, it is critical that the United States Congress complete this bill in 2011. Passing a reauthorization bill will provide the FAA with the resources and policy guidance necessary to move forward on air traffic modernization, provide regulatory direction on the oversight of repair stations, and raise new revenue for NextGen. Despite the weakened state of the industry, the general aviation community continues to support an increase in the fuel tax to fund the critical NextGen modernization effort. ExtEnSion of EASA Authority In 2011, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) will present the opinions that will form the pan-European regulatory framework for operations, pilot licensing, and third country operators. GAMA has worked with the agency from the beginning to guide the new requirements placed on manufacturers and also shape the debate around how general aviation airplanes will be operated in Europe. As these opinions are subject to final review by the member states, GAMA believes it is essential that a balance is struck to ensure appropriate requirements are placed on general aviation that enhance safety and do not impose unnecessary regulatory burdens that would impede the industry’s growth in the 21st century. Atc modErnizAtion It is crucial that the United States and Europe seize opportunities to transition from antiquated World War II era air traffic control systems to modern, satellite-based ones designed to digitally integrate the entire network. This will improve airspace efficiency, decrease greenhouse gas emissions and better meet projected demand. In the United States, industry supports a number of NextGen initiatives including a public-private partnership to accelerate finan- cial and operational incentives for equipage. GAMA believes that the financial incentives for equipage are especially important because initial NextGen benefits reside not with the individual operator buying the equipment, but instead with other operators or the FAA. This is especially true for ADS-B “Out” equipage which establishes an on-aircraft, satellite based surveillance infrastructure in place of the existing ground based, radar system. We also believe that it is critical that the FAA develops performance metrics to measure its progress on NextGen. EnvironmEnt In 2009, GA manufacturers, joined by the operator community represented by the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC), committed to the following steps to reduce emissions: + Carbon-neutral growth by 2020; + An improvement in fuel efficiency of an average of 2 percent per year from today until 2020; and, + A reduction in total carbon emissions of 50 percent by 2050 relative to 2005. While the industry continues to move towards these goals, general aviation manufacturers are also committed to participating in the development of a CO2 standard for new aircraft by 2013 at the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The GA Avgas Coalition, made up of GAMA and five other industry stakeholder While the economic environment is critical to the health and growth of general aviation manufacturing; so too are policies and regulations around the globe. The industry’s ability to endure and thrive depends on pro-growth, pro-manufacturing policies and regulations that foster innovation, reward sustainability, and facilitate investment in general aviation airplanes. Industry and government must work together to ensure that laws and regulations will promote manufacturing, resulting in greater economic stability, industry investment and jobs. Increased manufacturing production creates tremendous economic activity through the multiplier effect and its linkage to other parts of economies. As we look to 2011 and beyond, GAMA will work hard to foster an environment that is more conducive to the creation, application and protection of policies that fuel our industry. inDUsTrY oUTlook 2011 2010 GaMa STATISTICAL DATABOOK & INDUSTRY OUTLOOK 7 associations, is continuing its work toward the development of a technologically feasible and economically reasonable alternative to leaded aviation gasoline for piston engine airplanes. A key part of this work is the FAA’s leadership and the establishment of an Unleaded Avgas Transition Aviation Rulemak- ing Committee in 2011. This committee will bring together key stakeholders that will develop recommendations for a comprehen- sive avgas program that identifies specific tasks, responsible parties to accomplish the tasks and a general schedule. SEcurity In late 2008, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) published the Large Aircraft Security Program (LASP) notice of proposed rulemaking for public comment. The proposed program called for all aircraft operators, including corporate and private operators, with aircraft having a maximum certified takeoff weight above 12,500 pounds to adopt a stringent security program. The TSA is incorporating the feedback it received from industry and is expected to publish a revised supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking in 2011. GAMA supports prompt publication of a revised notice that incorporates important changes that have been offered by our industry. Since 2008, the FAA has been barred from issuing new foreign repair station certificates because the TSA has not yet issued repair station security regulations. GAMA calls on the TSA to publish a final rule in 2011 so that growth in key markets will no longer be hindered. This year will mark the ten-year anniversary of the tragic events of September 11, 2001. A great deal has been done in the last decade to enhance general aviation security through regulatory and voluntary initiatives including the Twelve-Five Standard Security Program, the Alien Flight Student Program and the DCA Access Standard Security Program. GAMA believes it is sensible to revisit and update the requirements established in these programs since some were reactions to events at that time and not subject to traditional review and comment by the public. As a result, some provisions may be overly prescriptive or contain unnecessary requirements that are not based on a security risk. GAMA calls on the TSA to review existing GA programs in cooperation with industry to ensure that government resources are properly spent and the security programs are based on current and future risk analysis. tAx policy Pro-manufacturing tax policy is critical for creating jobs, stimulating innovation, and getting production lines moving again at manufacturing plants. The United States Congress extended two critical tax incentives in 2010. First, GAMA has long called for the renewal of bonus depreciation for aircraft purchases and upgrades - a provision proven to boost sales in a recession. The tax bill passed by Congress and signed by President Obama will allow aircraft purchasers to expense 100 percent of their investment in the first year after accepting the aircraft from the manufacturer. As a springboard for future economic growth, manufacturers also believe that gov- ernments must seek further investment in the research, ideas and the people who produce innovation. Along these lines, the research and development (R&D) tax credit was also extended in the United States for two years. As companies continue to plan and invest for the future, GAMA will work to ensure that the R&D credit is further extended. thE mArKEtplAcE In 2010, many manufacturers increasingly turned their attention to the international marketplace, most notably in Asia Pacific, Latin America, Eastern Europe and the Middle East. These key markets are accounting for an increased proportion of sales and are leading the industry through this global recovery. This is especially true where economies are growing more rapidly than in North America and Europe. In these developing markets, we will work to ensure that infrastructure investment and regulatory modernization keep pace with the economic growth. Historically, corporate profits are closely linked to new airplane demand. In J.P. Morgan’s business jet report published in January 2011, they estimated that global corporate profits were up 46 percent in 2010. For the past several years, the fastest-growing markets have been outside North America. Although it takes between one to two years for our industry to feel the positive effects from growth in corporate profits, a strong increase in global profits holds promise for potential sales in key emerging markets and a recovery in industry shipments over the next several years. Many analysts expect economic recovery to strengthen in 2011. If this happens, we expect it will accelerate the reduction of the inventory of used airplanes and consequently lead to strengthened airplane order books, increased flight activity, job creation and greater economic prosperity. General aviation manufacturers continue to meet the challenges resulting from cyclical economic downturn and structural adjustments. Their efforts are beginning to show some successes. But to foster a strong, vibrant and expanding industry, pro-growth, pro-manufacturing policies will remain a crucial ingredient of success. As governments around the world act, GAMA will continue to ensure that they understand the role general aviation plays as a powerful economic engine for growth and prosperity. GENERAL AVIATION MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION 8 Gama aGenDa 2011 mAKinG GA SAfEr GAMA supports initiatives to further aviation safety that are based on data driven analyses of accidents and incidents. We work with accident investigation bodies to ensure they have the resources, regulations and legal structure to conduct timely, thorough and objective investigations. We promote risk-based, targeted interventions including dissemination of safety information and improved pilot training. crEAtinG JobS And AdvAncinG thE Economy As an industry that creates prosperity and jobs, GAMA advocates for a regula- tory environment that promotes economic growth and innovation. GAMA encourages the enactment of tax provisions that will stimulate investment and recovery such as bonus depreciation and the research and development (R&D) tax credit in the United States. GAMA believes it is absolutely essential that the U.S. Congress pass a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reauthorization bill enabling significant progress on the safety, capacity and environmental benefits offered by NextGen air traffic control (ATC) system modernization. GAMA’s agenda focuses on safeguarding the growth and vitality of general aviation (GA) around the world. The specific strategies for 2011 are designed to keep general aviation a dynamic and sustainable global manufacturing industry that links communities, facilitates business and creates jobs. 2010 GaMa STATISTICAL DATABOOK & INDUSTRY OUTLOOK 9 We also work to protect the General Aviation Revitalization Act and advocate for the U.S. government’s continued role in basic R&D. Also, GAMA will continue to familiarize the media, the public and policy makers about the vital role general aviation plays in the worldwide economy. continuouSly improvinG AircrAft cErtificAtion procESSES GAMA strives to continuously improve aircraft certification processes and update airworthiness safety standards that will be recognized globally. In coordination with FAA and the European Aviation Safety Agency, we work to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of certification through robust compliance systems and international cooperation. GAMA advocates that authori- ties have sufficient resources to ensure safety oversight and timely certification activities. KEEpinG GA SEcurE A leading GAMA priority is working toward the implementation of the Large Aircraft Security Program and an improved security regime for domestic and non-U.S. repair stations with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). In addition, GAMA calls on the TSA to review existing GA security programs to ensure that they are based on risk analysis, are cost effective and do not place unwar- ranted burdens on the community. trAnSforminG thE Air trAnSportAtion SyStEm GAMA works in the U.S. and Europe on the transformation of ATC systems to address airline congestion, ensure continued GA airspace access and achieve tangible environmental benefits. GAMA strives for the harmonization of avionics equipage requirements to ensure upgrades are achieved in a cost effective manner. We also support incentives for aircraft equipage with the technology needed to facilitate the modernization of ATC systems worldwide. prESErvinG And ExpAndinG GA AccESS GAMA vigorously opposes efforts to deny GA access to airports and airspace and promotes adherence to existing legal processes to address such issues. minimizinG GA’S EnvironmEntAl footprint It is critical to further mitigate GA’s carbon footprint while ensuring the industry’s continued growth and sustainability. GAMA strives to make certain that as the international community develops new standards in this area, the business aviation industry is treated in a fair and equitable manner that recognizes its unique characteristics. fAir compEtition Around thE world GAMA advocates for the removal of trade barriers for GA products globally. We strongly support the International Civil Aviation Organization as the appropriate forum for the development and adoption of compatible standards and practices regard- ing safety, the environment and security.

Includes pilots with an airplane only certificate. Also includes those with an airplane and a helicopter and/or glider certificate. Prior to 1995, these pilots were categorized as private, commercial, or airline transport, based on their airplane certificate. In 1995 and after, they are categorized based on their highest certificate. For example, if a pilot holds a private airplane certificate and a commercial helicopter certificate prior to 1995, the pilot would be categorized as private; 1995 and after as commercial. 2. Glider and lighter-than-air pilots are not required to have a medical examination; however, the totals above represent pilots who received a medical examination within the last 25 months. 3. Lighter-than-air type ratings are no longer being issued. 4. Not included in total. 5. Special ratings shown on pilot certificates, do not indicate additional certificates. 6. Data for 1996 and 1997 are not comparable to earlier years. 7. Numbers represent all certificates on record. No medical examination required. Data for 1996 and 1997 are limited to certificates held by those under 70 years of age. 8. Beginning in 1995, includes non-pilots who were excluded in prior years because of incomplete addresses and/or a request to be excluded from any mailing list. 9. 1994 counts based on medical certificates issued 27 or less months ago. All other years based on medical certificates issued 25 or less months ago. 10. Flight attendant information first available from FAA Registry in 2005. 11. Recreational certificate first issued in 1990. 12. Sport pilot certificate first issued in 2005. 13. Prior to 1995 repairmen were included in the mechanic category. 14. In 2010, the FAA changed the validity of student pilot certificates through an amendment to 14 CFR 61.19(b)(1) the duration of validity for student pilot certificates for pilots under the age of 40 increased to 60 months. This created an increase in the active student pilot population to 119,119 active airmen at the end of 2010 compared to the 72,280 a year ago.
