Since 2010, national level strong policy support after the signal was given, surging capital began to flow to the general aviation industry, the government, enterprises, private capital no-till on this piece of land in succession, the heat continues unabated. So, in the past 2012 years, as a just break ground and out of the emerging industries, which highlights China's general aviation development have?

Enthusiasm for general aviation development

Following Beijing, yunnan, jiangsu, dalian, xi 'an and weinan, PingQuan, introduced a general aviation industry development planning, in 2012, hebei, guangdong, hunan, shandong, shenyang, zhengzhou, wuhan, zhuhai, yingkou, dengfeng, xiangtan, liyang, equally also have issued or are working on general aviation industry development planning, from the provinces, municipalities directly under the central government, provincial cities and regional cities to county-level cities, a general aviation development boom is lifted.

Indeed, general aviation is a kind of can be dominated by local government in the development of industry, and forms as a kind of regional industry, most of the benefits of development of general aviation will directly benefit the local. Such as increase local tax revenue, promote employment, lead to the development of local industry, the central government also clear the development of general aviation policy signals. Based on these understanding, the domestic general aviation development around the enthusiasm.

Especially the eighteenth big put forward in 2020, GDP and per capita income in 2010 on the basis of double. Via measuring, in order to realize the economic development goals, China's future economic still needs to be at an average speed of not less than 7% growth. Cars, real estate and other industries have been leading China's economy, the industry forecast industry leader is expected to become China's next round of economic development. After 20 years of rapid growth, China's commercial air transport has been the world's second-biggest. Over the next decade, though will remain in growth period, but a slower growth rate, was expected a larger is China's general aviation. Beset by strict control of low-altitude airspace, as well as in the commercial air transport development brought about by the huge commercial profits, insufficient attention to the development of general aviation, general aviation in China is backward, is still a great industry has yet to let go of the development.

Industrial capital and investment funds has been pay close attention to the emerging areas of investment, assets, and what people, foreign capital general aviation has quietly lifted gold rush. Held in China in 2011, a total of 123 general aviation business licenses of enterprises, more than in 2010 12, but only the first half of 2012 increased by 17, 240, and there are more than 100 companies are waiting in line, in order to obtain planning permission.

Main foreign industry began to layout in China, the world famous general aircraft manufacturers cessna, cirrus, diamond has begun to general aircraft engine production in China, each big executive manufacturing company increased the force of the market development in China and shipped, Chinese buyers has become the main buy high-end executive.

Although general aviation development needs the participation of all parties concerned, but general aviation is an industry policy and professional knowledge, the security requirement is high, and has the characteristics of popularization. Development of general aviation, light enthusiasm is not enough, still need to have professional spirit. Encouragingly, the myth about about general aviation has gradually eliminate, everyone more and more practical, more and more rational, more and more aware of the general aviation is a long-term investment is required, and must also focus of investors can bring continuous industry profits of big business.

Policy is good

In 2010, the state council and the central military commission promulgated the opinions on deepening the reform of China's low-altitude airspace management , this is the most strong country from the development of general aviation policy signals. In opinion, relevant departments are studying for low-altitude airspace classification standards of the state, low-altitude airspace management specification and to promote general aviation industry policy, general aviation have been listed in the country to cultivate and support the development of strategic emerging industries. In the national civil aviation also take general aviation in the 12th five-year plan key, explicitly proposed to overall layout and construction of general aviation airports, landing point, the construction and improvement of atc, maintenance, fuel distribution and other security facilities.

In 2012, we are pleased to see, at the policy level had moments of good policy, some specific substantive policy developed, such as in April 2012, the ministry of finance issued the interim measures for the use and management of civil aviation development fund collection, the general aviation as a fund to support key areas; In May 2012, the civil aviation administration has issued a general code for airport construction, provides the general aviation airport construction is different from the transportation industry standards, at the airport for the are of the general aviation airport construction boom is a timely rain; Released in July 2012, the state council on several opinions to promote the development of civil aviation, has been clear about the airline industry is an important strategic industry, China's economic and social development and the general aviation development as focus, put forward to develop the private flying, emerging general aviation services such as business flights; General aviation development special funds management interim measures has been introduced, as a general aviation enterprise has brought quite a substantial policy is good. Only that's not enough, of course, because of general aviation in the field of application, operating characteristics and requirements of running environment and transport aircraft are quite different, it need to establish a complete policy for general aviation, the standards and regulations system, this requires a process. We predict there will be more for the two years of general aviation policy, to create a suitable for China's general aviation development policy environment.

General plane layout of China made in China

In regard to general aviation manufacturing, after the avic bought a world famous manufacturer of general aircraft general aviation engine maker cirrus aircraft companies in the United States and the United States after the mainland aviation engine company, in 2012 the United States cessna aircraft company is working with avic has reached production multi-purpose general aircraft cessna 208 (van), cessna citation XLS executive, plus has been put into mass production in shenyang in the cessna L162 light sport aircraft, cessna formed the whole series product layout in China. In addition, the zhuhai air show last year, shandong bin ao aircraft manufacturing company of the 34 aircraft orders, avic general aircraft company has independent intellectual property pilot 150 executive prototype also offline in zhuhai.

Private sector is unwilling also lonely. In 2012, zhuhai had star general aviation company acquired general aircraft manufacturing company in the United States, cernet (Glasair). In addition, there are Beijing excellence aviation industry company to famous business jet manufacturers agreement beechcraft acquisitions (because of various reasons, not successful). And, of course, there are a number of other general aircraft manufacturer of mergers and acquisitions and general aircraft cooperative production project is still in secret negotiations.

Battered heavy financial crisis on the global general aviation, global shipments of general aircraft in 2007 is 4276, but they were only 1865 to 2011, this led to many struggling general aircraft manufacturers from Europe and America, this is the story of many Chinese company acquisitions in Europe and the general aviation manufacturers. In fact, the international general aviation industry generally bullish on China, but also in doubt. In August last year in the United States EAA fly meeting, when I communicate with some American in the industry, and they said to me: you bought cirrus aircraft companies in the United States, bought the U.S. mainland aviation engine company, and now are buying beechcraft (at that time Beijing excellence is negotiating with). Then he added a word said, China sooner or later one day you will buy of the United States. Words I listen to them in the complicated state of mind. Indeed, the entire international community on China has not yet open, general aviation market, hoping to rely on to save the global general aviation in China, but they have another worry, worry about the Chinese give widely respected general aircraft industry brand to the fault. I want to say is, this is not our compatriots common concerns, we can expect and believe that general aviation spirit to carry forward in China.

Low altitude open have a breakthrough

Now, about the low altitude open issue still is the focus of the parties to talk about, where everyone is talking about would be a pilot? I will away across the country? Actually, in my opinion, a low really open depends on two logo, one is the low altitude navigation map issued; Second is set atc and flight services for the integration of integrated security system and in the face of the aviator service terminal flight service station (FSS), otherwise everything was meaningless, still can't realize the mission reporting/approval to normalized and convenience, general aviation flight won't be able to touch the door to open.

Due to general aviation air traffic and navigation services to technical implementation means and system construction, and it also need a process. Therefore, at this stage for low-altitude airspace piece open is not reality, do need national pilot. From the point of view of industry development, however, only a single point of flowering, this flight is XingBuCheng industry, only to realize point-to-point normalization, flight mission, general aircraft as a convenient traffic tools, the important essence can reflect general aviation, general aviation can real development as an industry.

We believe that a more realistic approach is, in conditions allow, and have certain economic base and market demand, from point to line, first is delimited low-flying irregularly, fixed route, construction of FSS, realize the point-to-point low-flying normalization, and then from line to face to build regional general aviation operating environment. 2012, our country in the airspace opening is a welcome progress of atc committee in the country to promote and support, in zhuhai, haikou, ningbo flight control area delimited by several low fixed flight route, and in zhuhai, haikou, shenyang and other places the FSS pilot construction.

General aviation exhibition grand show mass base

In 2012, the national exhibition on general aviation, BBS and flight performance, the average monthly for a while. Exhibition of Shanghai executive in March, April, sanya rendez-vous, anyang international air movement on May Day, China's aviation manufacturing assembly, low economic BBS, China in August, Beijing business jets fly shenyang library show show, gm and business aviation training BBS, Beijing commercial air show in September, October, Macao executive exhibition, Shanghai low economic BBS, the zhuhai airshow in November. Each day, many participants. Such as flight conference held in August in the library, the audience reach nearly 100000 people every day. From which we can see, in China does not lack of general aviation base from the masses, which is very important for the development of general aviation industry. Zhuhai air show last year, but also become the general aviation in the home, of the general aircraft far more than the transport aviation aircraft. Meeting outgoing information about general aviation media attention, general aircraft manufacturer also harvest a lot. And in 2012, the world famous American EAA coming conference, Chinese elements has become a major bright spot. Chinese more and more to the EAA assembly hall, has ten people can be seen in 2010, only 50, 2011 people, and conservative estimate to at least 300 people last year, next to the best location in the airport also has a China pavilion. In the first day of the flight performance, the first appearance of unexpectedly is a group of foreigners driving China ChuJiaoLiu aircraft fleet. So, China's general aviation is not a rookie (NewComer). In the past with the Wright brothers pioneers of contemporary world aviation - the father of China's aviation Feng Ru, now have loved by foreign flight enthusiasts ChuJiaoLiu developed in China, and has a large general aviation mass base, we are looking forward to the future of China have the same sky.
