Title: OVERVIEW OF BENEFITS OF GENERAL AVIATION
Accession Number: 00377280
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The first part of this paper discusses an earlier attempt, some ten years ago, by R. Dixon Speas, at determining the effects of general aviation on the national economy; the second part highlights the benefits of general aviation to individual organizations and the community at large. It is apparent that the full economic impact of general aviation is not known. What is evident though, is that increasingly businesses are buying aircraft to increase productivity and profit. Indeed, industry decentralization, efficiency of business aircraft compared with other forms of transport, greater flexibility in travel skills, valued savings of time to key personnel, technological progress in aircraft and avionic systems, increased operating safety, airline deregulation, are all reasons why general aviation has become an important part of the system of transportation and will continue to do so in the future.
