— and that this contribution is spread across the nation, including states with little or no GA manufacturing activity.



1.0 Introduction
1.01 Introduction
The General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) and the National Association of State Aviation Officials (NASAO) jointly retained MergeGlobal, Inc. to assess and estimate General Aviation’s total contribution to the U.S. economy. MergeGlobal’s study was led by W. Bruce Allen, PhD, David L. Blond, PhD, and Aaron J. Gellman, PhD.
MergeGlobal’s mandate was to deliver an independent, expert, and conservative assessment of GA’s current contribution to the U.S. economy at both the national and state levels.



2.0 Definitions
2.01 General Aviation Defined
General aviation (“GA”) encompasses the manufacture and operation of any type of aircraft that has been issued a certificate of airworthiness by the FAA, other than aircraft used for scheduled commercial air service (airlines) or operated by the U.S. military.
Thus, GA includes fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters (rotorcraft), balloons, dirigibles, and gliders. GA includes the manufacture and operation of aircraft equipped with turbine engines (turbojet, turbofan, or turboprop) or piston engines, and of non-powered aircraft. GA includes flights related to business or corporate transportation of people or cargo, personal transportation (visiting family), air ambulance, flight training and for many unique purposes, such as fire spotting and pipeline patrol. GA operations are not determined by who owns the aircraft. GA aircraft may be wholly-owned, jointly-owned, rented, chartered or leased. GA operations are not defined by the airman certificate of the pilot operating the aircraft; the pilot of a GA aircraft may hold a student, private, commercial, or air transport pilot certificate, depending on the purpose of the flight and the number of pilots prescribed to operate it by the manufacturer.
