  1. Low Cost Aircraft in the University Environment Or Increasing The Pilot Population Utilizing Tecnam Aircraft

  2. From NTAS 2008 • Decreasing Pilot Numbers • Increasing Training Costs • Decreasing Pay • Increasing Need for Well Trained Pilots • What has happened in the past year? • Has the situation improved? Tecnam Aircraft NTAS 2009

  3. Pilot Statistics * Current totals include all class and category – Not Airplane Specific Tecnam Aircraft NTAS 2009

  4. Digging Deep For Numbers Tecnam Aircraft NTAS 2009

  5. Time Is Now • Aviation Daily Reported on 3/12/08: “U.S. airlines may have received a five-year reprieve from scrambling to find enough pilots because of the recent lifting of the Age 60 mandatory retirement rule, but the pilot shortage will soon catch up. The shortage may be more acute and imminent at the regional airline and instructor level, but it will creep up -- and quickly -- to major airlines, which need to start planning now and considering new programs, such as paying for training, to bring more pilots into the pool... The cost of flight training is exorbitant. It now costs $120,000 to $180,000 for a four-year flight education. Students cannot borrow that much, and government loans are limited to $25,000, says Levy. Students then face 10 to 15 years of paying back their loans, assuming they complete the program, and half of them do not.” Tecnam Aircraft NTAS 2009

  6. Major Carrier Pay - 2008 • 1st Year FO • 1st Year Capt. • 2nd Year FO • 2nd Year Capt. • 12th Year FO • 12th Year Capt. • $47.00 • $110.00 • $58.00 • $113.00 • $87.00 • $147.00 Tecnam Aircraft NTAS 2009

  9. Reality Check - ROI • Student Loans - Between 6.0% - 8.8% • $55,000.00 = $697.78 per month @ 8.8% • $44,000.00 = $552.62 per month @ 8.8% • Full Cost of Education • $193,280.00 4 year education • Private University w/ Flight Training • $2,145.80 per month @ 6.0% Tecnam Aircraft NTAS 2009

  10. From 2008 FAA Forecast “Student pilots are important to general aviation and the aviation industry as a whole. In 2007, according to statistics compiled by the FAA’s Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, the number of student pilots decreased by 0.6 percent. This is the third consecutive year of decline in this important pilot category. The industry has, over the past several years, maintained several industry-wide programs designed to attract new pilots to general aviation. The industry is trying to stimulate interest in flying, but the data suggest that more may need to be done.” Tecnam Aircraft NTAS 2009
