FUTURE VISION OF GA AIRPLANES: 

FUTURE VISION OF GA AIRPLANES Discussion Scenarios Integrated “All-Glass” Cockpit Very Light Jets Supersonic Business Jets Talking Points for Each Scenario General Description Challenges Opportunities

Integrated “All-Glass” Cockpit: 

Integrated “All-Glass” Cockpit Electronic display and control of all primary flight instrument and Nav/Com functions Increased functionality and situational awareness Improved Safety Increased Ease of Use 70%-85% of new piston-airplanes in 2005

Integrated “All-Glass” Cockpit (Cont.): 

Integrated “All-Glass” Cockpit (Cont.) Challenges Ensure understanding of use and capabilities Transition from traditional to “glass” Transition from “glass” to “glass” Opportunities Training Type-rating FAA-Industry Training Standard (FITS) Design Standardize essential functions GAMA Publication No. 12, Recommended Practices and Guidelines for an Integrated Cockpit/Flightdeck in a 14 CFR Part 23 (or equivalent) airplane AC 23-23, Standardization Guide for Integrated Cockpits in Part 23 Airplanes

Very Light Jets: 

Very Light Jets Why a New “Very Light Jet” Category Availability of cost-effective technologies Engines Avionics Strong outlook for business jet market Very Light Jet Programs (Announced) Adam A700 Cessna Mustang Diamond D-Jet Eclipse 500 Embraer VLJ HondaJet Others…

Very Light Jets (Cont.) Challenges and Opportunities Part 23 Airworthiness Standards Not Appropriate Special Conditions FAA Aviation Rulemaking Committee Recommendation for Part 23 Amendment Safety Considerations for Introduction of Very Light Jet Category Airplanes Training standards (type rating) Manufacturer required training and performance Insurance company requirements Other issues? Safety Considerations for Potential “Air-Taxi” Systems appropriate for large “fleet” operators Other issues?

Supersonic Business Jets: 

Supersonic Business Jets Supersonic Business Jet (SSBJ) Could Be Technically Feasible in About 10 Years Industry and government research indicates that technology barriers can be overcome Noise reduced to sonic “swoosh” or “click” A segment of the market will pay for speed SSBJ Experience will be applied to transport Several Manufacturers Evaluating SSBJ Design principles Operate in current NAS environment Airport and ground support requirements equivalent to commercial airplanes Must be able to operate globally

Supersonic Business Jets (Cont.): 

Supersonic Business Jets (Cont.) Challenges Regulatory Barriers to SSBJ Development Supersonic flight not permitted over land No supersonic noise standard Opportunities Establish performance-based noise standard for supersonic airplanes Through ICAO, industry and authorities pursue efforts to identify acceptable perceived noise level Critical to support SSBJ development (“target”) Establish operational requirements for SSBJ ICAO SARP Replace regulatory prohibitions with performance and safety standards
