For Western Aircraft, their PC-12 model is the safest general aviation aircraft, one of the reasons is 8,000,000 flight hours with no fatalities due to engine failure.
According to AirSafe statistics the 5 safest comercial airplanes (with minimun number of accidetns) are:
Business Aviation is the use of any general aviation aircraft for a business purpose. The Federal Aviation Administration defines general aviation aircraft as all flights that are not conducted by the military or scheduled airlines.
Aircraft, and aviation in general, revolutionized warfare, commerce, and technology.
The Cessna Aircraft Company was founded in 1927. The Cessna Aircraft Company is an American general aviation aircraft manufacturing corporation headquartered in Wichita, Kansas.
The fastest certified, single engine, general aviation, piston aircraft is the Lancair 400. It is a 310 h.p., twin turbo-powered plane. It cruises at 230 knots (262 m.p.h.). The Mooney Acclaim Type S is now the fastest general aviation aircraft at 242 knots (278 mph). For the specifications, see http://www.mooney.com/acclaim-type-s/specifications-performance-3.html
Ground support in general aviation largely involves Air traffic control.
Aviation is the entire science of flying. Aircraft are the means to do it.
A general term including the science and technology of flight through the air. Aviation also applies to the mode of travel provided by aircraft as carriers of passengers and cargo, and as such is part of the total transportation system. Aviation also describes the employment of aircraft in such fields as military aviation. The world of the airplane, including the people who manufacture, market, and repair aircraft or who work in allied industries, is frequently spoken of as aviation.
to rejuvenate the general aviation aircraft manufacturing industry, crippled by litigation costs
Classic Aircraft Aviation Museum was created in 1998.
