With the development of my country's economy and the improvement of living standards, Chinese people have increasingly higher requirements for fast travel. There is huge potential in the fields of business aviation, private aviation, emergency rescue, and agricultural and forestry aviation.

“In the era of speed economy, commercial aviation connects the world, and general aviation will bring profound changes to people’s lives.” Huang Zhiming, a representative of the National People’s Congress, said that general aviation will not only make people more convenient Overlooking the city from the sky, you can engage in aerial sports, aerial photography, aerial geophysical exploration, and aerial hoisting. You can also enjoy timely emergency rescue, and even "fly" to work.

At last year’s Two Sessions, many representatives and committee members expressed their views and expectations on navigation. Some were high-level and to the point, while others were simple and down-to-earth. Let us review what the representatives and committee members said. Here’s a look:

●Huang Zhiming, deputy to the National People’s Congress, chairman of Hunan Wanjiali Group, and chairman of Changsha Zhifa Industrial Co., Ltd., proposed the “Recommendations on Further Improving Management and Gradually and Orderly Opening Up Low-altitude Areas”, We call for the orderly liberalization of low-altitude areas and let the low-altitude economy become the next economic growth point.

However, the drone industry is in a vacuum of legal regulations. Not only does its subsequent development lack legal protection, but black drones frequently cause trouble, which is really disturbing. It is urgent to speed up the legislative supervision of the drone industry. The regulation of drones should be included in the civil aviation law. This is not to restrict, but to ensure its healthy development in accordance with the law.

● Yu Feng, deputy to the National People’s Congress and chairman of AVIC Helicopters, said that although my country’s aviation industry has embarked on its own development path, it is facing challenges under the pressure of a rapidly developing external environment and fierce international competition. Faced with considerable challenges, the coming period is a strategically critical period for the development of my country's helicopter industry. It is the aviation field that is most likely to take the lead in keeping pace with foreign countries. Therefore, it is urgent to receive strong support from the state, adopt effective methods to effectively support the national industry, and accelerate the promotion of helicopter industry. Implement the "Made in China 2025" strategy.
