Beijing, 25 September 2009 Booz & Company General Aviation Implementation Support (GAIS) GA Associations Module (Revised) 1st Revision: October, 2010 Final Revision: October, 2011 This document is confidential and is intended solely for the use and information of the client to whom it is addressed.

  2. Purpose of Document • The intent of this document is to provide a detailed handover of all analysis and materials relating to regulatory gap studies on GA Associations Module as part of deliverables for General Aviation Implementation Support (GAIS) project funded by the US Trade Development Administration (USTDA) • The study focuses on general aviation (GA) regulatory experience and insights from the U.S. because: • The U.S. has the most established and successful GA industry with a mature regulatory system that increases GA capacity and efficiency while maintaining safety • ACP is an U.S. organization with its members consisting of FAA and key GA aircraft and equipment manufacturers with global presence. ACP member firms are best able to share GA regulatory, management, technological and operational experiences from the U.S. • Analysis has been conducted and completed by Booz & Company with active contribution from Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), Development Research Center of the State Council (DRC), Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), ACP members and other key stakeholders • For further information please contact: • Mr. Paul Fiduccia (PFiduccia@aol.com) • Mr. Frank Yu (dongfang.yu@ge.com) • Mr. Kevin Wu (kevinwu@textron.com) • Dr. Edward Tse (edward.tse@booz.com) • Mr. Yang Guang (yang.guang@booz.com) • Mr. Timothy Wong (timothy.wong@booz.com)

  4. In China, GA refers to all civil aircrafts activities other than public aircraft transportation activities NON EXHAUSTIVE Three Main Categories of General Aviation Flight Activities* Definition of General Aviation General Aviation China: General Aviation refers to all civil aircrafts activities other than public aircraft transportation activities. Including flight operations associated with industrial, agricultural, forestry, fishery and construction, and other purpose operations such as medical and sanitation, emergency rescue, Meteorological sounding, ocean monitoring, scientific experiments, education and training, culture and sports etc. Public Service Economic Construction Consumer Aviation Agriculture Aerial Photography Training and Sports Forestry Mine Exploration Tourism FAA: General aviation (GA) refers to all flights other than military and scheduled airline flights, both private and commercial. Meteorology Petroleum Services Business Travel Disaster Relief Others2 Private Use ICAO: General aviation comprises all aircraft that are not operated by commercial aviation or by the military. Others1 Non scheduled commercial operations3 (*) CAAC categorization (1) Others include aircraft seeding, pest control, farming and emergency rescue (2) Others include remote sensing, power line services and industrial associated applications (3) Non scheduled commercial operations include air taxi and air charter operations Source: Committee of General Aviation Specialist of China Aviation Industrial Base (CAIB), CAAC and Booz Allen analysis

  5. GA Associations Module aims to provide an overview of roles played by associations to help develop GA industry in the U.S. • The objective of GA Associations Module is to provide an overview of roles played by associations to help develop GA industry in the U.S. for reference by China GA stakeholders • The scope of this module is as follows: • Identify key functional focus of GA related associations in the U.S. • Synthesize key roles of these associations • Highlight current state of GA related association development in China • Recommend steps to improve current situation
