The Purpose of the Convention * Ensure orderly growth of aviation * Aimed at across border traffic – international commercial development * Involved mainly airline development * General aviation had neither the capability or need to go beyond domestic applications IAOPA

 Commercial scheduled and non- scheduled operations  General aviation General aviation not a priority Overall ICAO is successful Session two - IAOPA

 Economic growth  Technical development  Development of use of aircraft in business  Private ownership increased  Recreational or sport aviation growth All within the GA category (Part 91) IAOPA

GA aircraft range  Airbus 340  Boeing 747  Beechcraft  Cessna  Piper  Experimental  Micro light aircraft IAOPA

 Range and state of the art of smaller aircraft changing  Small aircraft no longer restricted to domestic operations  Cross border travel now feasible and a need exists  Such should be facilitated IAOPA

Cost factors introduced a new concept in GA aircraft use  Non Type Certificated Aircraft (NTCA)  Resulted in a split of 50/50 in the SA aircraft register (11000 aircraft)  This GA activity will grow  Cannot comply with Annex 8 IAOPA

 Capabilities increasing  Sling II & IV around the world flights  Cannot claim recognition in terms of the Convention  Need exists and will expand  Need to make it easier and assure growth IAOPA

 Some support and recognition for GA in the Annexes  Annex 12 SAR  Annex 1  GA is threatened- economics, airspace, land use, equipment IAOPA

 It is a changing environment we live in now  ICAO to give more attention to GA  Urge Governments to protect, develop and ensure growth of GA  Urge Governments not to overregulate IAOPA

 There is a need for a review of all the Annexes to the Convention  Address issues that could impact on GA  Accept that there are different levels of GA activities  Accept that there is a difference in acceptable risks associated with GA operations IAOPA

 Supportive role by ICAO is called for in urging Governments to encourage development of GA  GA is the source of interest in aviation  We can call  “”Mister ICAO support in breaking down the barriers to growth of GA.” IAOPA
