Main characteristics of general aviation

General aviation is flexible, fast and efficient, covering agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, industry, construction, scientific research, transportation, entertainment and other industries. The specific contents of general aviation are all-encompassing, and we are familiar with the following general aviation: aerial photography, medical rescue, meteorological detection, aerial inspection, artificial precipitation enhancement and so on. Other types include marine monitoring, onshore and offshore oil services, aerial seeding, aerial fertilization, etc. In addition, business jets and private jets belong to general aviation.

Statistics show that. There are only 60,000 large civil aviation aircraft with about 400,000 pilots. Therefore, general-purpose aircraft occupies a very important position in the national economy. In the 11th Five-Year Plan, China has listed the development of general-purpose aircraft as a major special project of high-tech industrial engineering.

It is understood that in the past year or two, the number of general-purpose aircraft in China has increased significantly compared with the past. By the end of 2005, there were 46 models and 570 aircraft in the general aviation industry. According to the forecast of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, by 2065,438+02, China will need 65,438+00,000 to 65,438+02,000 general aviation aircraft. It is predicted that the average annual growth rate of the number of general aviation aircraft will reach 30%-10 in the next five years. Insiders pointed out that with the economic development of China, business flights, air tours and private driver's license training are being favored by more and more people, and there is sufficient market demand. This will inevitably lead to the rapid development of the field of providing services for it.
