Question 1: Briefly, define General Aviation and Corporate Aviation?

Ans1- Recent years were marked by the growing popularity of business aircraft, as well as and general aviation (ANI), which led to its wide spread in the world. Thanks to this business aviation today, that plays a major role in the economies of many countries. Today it is a necessity for many businessmen and politicians. For example, the U.S. decided to share the transport business into two categories: the business of carriage - the use of aircraft for business flights enjoyed by entrepreneurs and owners of private aircraft. Another category is corporate transport - use of aircraft by corporations (companies) for the transport of personnel and property companies (as a corporate, mostly used by jet or turboprop aircraft, piloted them, as a rule, professional drivers who are employees of the company, technical staff and, most all, is employed by the company).

Fly business aircraft require less time and increase productivity during the flight, as a business aircraft are usually well equipped with the means of communication and is a sort of office in the sky. As a rule, the cabin business aircraft is equipped with office supplies such as computer, fax, telephone and other necessary tools for the job. In addition, the great advantage of the business aircraft is the lack of foreign passengers who may be undesirable witness talk's employees.

This is despite the fact that in 1998 the business aviation activity at major airports (tower) grew by 2.5% (according to the FAA). The ability to use smaller, less crowded airport closest to the destination is another advantage of business aviation. Indeed, most operators prefer to use small aircraft airports instead of major, even in metropolitan areas. This is the reason that the overall flow of aircraft to share large airports private planes is negligible. After all there and the prices higher and a lot of inconvenience associated with large crowds and large over-organization. A good example of what has been said may serve as a major centre like New York. At major airports in the city - Newark, LaGuardia and Kennedy, the share of business aircraft is only about 5% of the total flow. However, the main traffic flow of aviation business goes through small local airports: Teterboro or Morristown in New Jersey and Westchester and Islip in New ...
