TABLE 1 <br /> <br />REGIONAL GENERAL AVIATION FORECASTS <br /> <br />TYPE 1983 2010 <br /> <br />Increase in Aircraft <br /> <br />Single Engine <br />- Piston <br /> <br />Multiple Engine <br />- Piston <br /> <br />Turbo Prop/Jet <br /> <br />2233 (87.5 %) <br /> <br />219 ( 8.6 %) <br />99 ( 3.9 %) <br /> <br />2797 (86.9 %) <br /> <br />268 ( 8.3 %) <br />152 ( 4.7 %) <br /> <br />564 (84.7 %) <br /> <br />49 ( 7.3 %) <br />53 ( 7.9 %) <br /> <br />Totals 2551 3217 <br /> <br />666 (26% increase) <br /> <br />Demand from West Metro <br />Communities: <br /> <br />Demand from East Metro <br />Communities: <br /> <br />1594 1970 376 <br /> <br />957 1248 291 <br /> <br />Conclusions: <br /> <br />The aviation demand models developed in this study indicate that the total <br />number of based aircraft in the Metro region will increase from 2550 in 1983 to <br />approximately 3217 in 2010. This represents an approximate growth of 26%. <br /> <br />The models reflect the dominance of single engine aircraft in the fleet, but <br />recognize the increasing demand for turbo props and turbo jets being <br />experienced nationally. For example, the increase in number of these more <br />sophisticated craft from 99 to 152 represents a 53 % growth rate, twice that of <br />the single engine aircraft. <br /> <br /> <br />
