  1. International Council of Aircraft Owner and PilotAssociations

  2. IAOPA • Chicago Convention of 1944 • Civil aviation meant “airlines” • IAOPA formed in 1962 • ICAO Observers in 1964 • Now 66 affiliates and 470,000 members worldwide.

  3. What Is General Aviation? All civil aviation except aerial work and commercial air transport

  4. What is GA? Business and Corporate Travel

  5. What is GA? Personal/Family Transportation

  6. What is GA? Recreation and Fun

  7. What is GA? Training

  8. GA in ATS • World aircraft fleets - • Airline – 26,000 • GA – 370,000 (> 25,000 turbine aircraft) • GA provides 10% of IFR traffic - • But, up to 20% of ATS activity • ATM is different for GA – • Airlines are predictable, stable • GA has no schedule, short notice ops • We are the ad hoc operators.

  9. Design for Performance • Airspace – • Complex for VFR operations • Non-standard airspace classifications • Large TMAs • Procedure – • Lengthy, complex SIDs and STARs • Circuitous routings • Long, low altitude terminal segments • Vague VFR TMA access policy.

  10. Performance Measures • ATS Provider – • Aircraft handled per sector • IFR aircraft hours per controller • System delay hours per day • Controllers required per sector • Revenue per employee The big picture….

  11. Performance Measures • ATS User – • Slot availability • Departure delays • Vertical deviation from requested/optimum flight level • Planned vs. actual flight time • VFR access to complex airspace The smaller view….

  12. IFR – What’s Important • Slot availability • Clearance availability • Simplified departures • Fly the plan • Keep ‘em high • Direct to the airport • All of these are measurable.

  13. VFR – What’s Important • Low-time pilots, basic aircraft equipment, little ground support • OK in Class E, F and G airspace • Class B, C and D problematic, especially in poor weather • Avoidance is sometimes impossible • Options – • Go around? • Go under? • None of the above?.

  14. Economics “The charges levied on international general aviation should be assessed in a reasonable manner, having regard to the cost of the facilities needed and used and the goal of promoting the sound development of international civil aviation as a whole.” -- Doc 9082 -- Think small!

  15. Safety • GA is different - • Less capable • Often higher pilot workload • Fewer options • Our needs are different • Put GA into your Safety Management Plan.

  16. ATM for GA • “If you can’t measure it, you can’t management it…” • Measure performance for the ad hoc flyers – IFR and VFR - • Risk/threat analysis • Segmented cost - benefit analysis • Actively solicit input from all stakeholders • Good performance begins with good planning.
