General Aviation and Small Aircraft

Commercial airline crashes always generate big headlines and major coverage in the news media — and rightfully so. But the vast majority of air travel in the United States involves general aviation and small aircraft. General aviation, a term used to describe all flights other than those conducted by the airlines or military, accounts for 77 percent of flights in the U.S.

General aviation includes everything from pilot training to package delivery to emergency medical flights, and aircraft ranging from home-built airplanes to giant cargo jets. And each year, general aviation accounts for approximately 1,600 accidents, hundreds of them resulting in serious injury or death.
