Statistical Data, Data Analysis and Recommendation on Collection of Data in the Field of General Aviation in Europe

General Aviation (GA) in the European Union (EU) is a diverse and dynamic sector undergoing rapid changes, involving a wide spectrum of aircraft ranging from gliders to complex business jets and provision of high value services such as aerial works or emergency and business door-to-door transportation. As such, General Aviation constitutes an important part of the EU aeronautical industry. The general objective of the study is to capture missing statistical data on GA, to provide recommendations on the collection of missing data and to provide an overview of the economic landscape of General Aviation that could result in a better understanding of the market and support decision makers at national and European level. Accordingly, the study aims to develop an initial database related to GA operations in Europe. The analysis of these data has led to the provision of recommendations to develop this sector and improve safety while limiting its impact on the environment. The study also identifies which data are available, assesses their quality and compares them with data already collected on Commercial Aircraft Transport (CAT) operations in order to identify which relevant data are missing. In a final step, recommendations related to the data to be collected are proposed. Case studies have been elaborated for eight countries to assess the availability of data, present the methodology implemented in those countries to collect GA data and estimate the applicability of this methodology to other States.
