7. FUTURE VISION OF GA AIRPLANES • Discussion Scenarios • Integrated “All-Glass” Cockpit • Very Light Jets • Supersonic Business Jets • Talking Points for Each Scenario • General Description • Challenges • Opportunities

8. Integrated “All-Glass” Cockpit • Electronic display and control of all primary flight instrument and Nav/Com functions • Increased functionality and situational awareness • Improved Safety • Increased Ease of Use • 70%-85% of new piston-airplanes in 2005

9. Integrated “All-Glass” Cockpit (Cont.) • Challenges • Ensure understanding of use and capabilities • Transition from traditional to “glass” • Transition from “glass” to “glass” • Opportunities • Training • Type-rating • FAA-Industry Training Standard (FITS) • Design • Standardize essential functions • GAMA Publication No. 12, Recommended Practices and Guidelines for an Integrated Cockpit/Flightdeck in a 14 CFR Part 23 (or equivalent) airplane • AC 23-23, Standardization Guide for Integrated Cockpits in Part 23 Airplanes

10. Very Light Jets • Why a New “Very Light Jet” Category • Availability of cost-effective technologies • Engines • Avionics • Strong outlook for business jet market • Very Light Jet Programs (Announced) • Adam A700 • Cessna Mustang • Diamond D-Jet • Eclipse 500 • Embraer VLJ • HondaJet • Others…

11. Very Light Jets (Cont.) • Challenges and Opportunities • Part 23 Airworthiness Standards Not Appropriate • Special Conditions • FAA Aviation Rulemaking Committee Recommendation for Part 23 Amendment • Safety Considerations for Introduction of Very Light Jet Category Airplanes • Training standards (type rating) • Manufacturer required training and performance • Insurance company requirements • Other issues? • Safety Considerations for Potential “Air-Taxi” • Systems appropriate for large “fleet” operators • Other issues?

12. Supersonic Business Jets • Supersonic Business Jet (SSBJ) Could Be Technically Feasible in About 10 Years • Industry and government research indicates that technology barriers can be overcome • Noise reduced to sonic “swoosh” or “click” • A segment of the market will pay for speed • SSBJ Experience will be applied to transport • Several Manufacturers Evaluating SSBJ • Design principles • Operate in current NAS environment • Airport and ground support requirements equivalent to commercial airplanes • Must be able to operate globally

13. Supersonic Business Jets (Cont.) • Challenges • Regulatory Barriers to SSBJ Development • Supersonic flight not permitted over land • No supersonic noise standard • Opportunities • Establish performance-based noise standard for supersonic airplanes • Through ICAO, industry and authorities pursue efforts to identify acceptable perceived noise level • Critical to support SSBJ development (“target”) • Establish operational requirements for SSBJ • ICAO SARP • Replace regulatory prohibitions with performance and safety standards
