Participate in the FAA Annual GA Survey

FAAThe FAA is in the midst of conducting its annual General Aviation and Part 135 Activity Survey, the only source of information for the agency to determine the ways people use recreational and business aircraft. The survey takes about 10-15 minutes to complete, so if you have been invited to participate, please fill it out so the FAA can better understand the economic impact of the GA industry and determine how best to invest in aviation infrastructure.
