Key Takeaways:

  • The general aviation industry experienced a strong 2022 with high demand for aircraft and successful air shows.
  • A significant milestone for piston GA was the FAA approval of GAMI's G100UL unleaded aviation gasoline.
  • General aviation accident rates, including weather-related and maneuvering accidents, saw a notable decrease in 2020, partly attributed to enhanced situational awareness from ADS-B technology.

As we near the end of a year which, quite frankly, can’t over soon enough for me, it’s a good time to look back over our shoulder at what’s behind us—and what might be gaining—even as we try to focus on what’s ahead.

In many quarters, 2022 was a good year. New and used aircraft demand is way up and it’s a good time to have a share of just about any general aviation market segment. Perhaps the biggest news for piston GA is FAA approval by supplemental type certificate of an unleaded aviation gasoline, the G100UL offering from General Aviation Modifications, Inc. (GAMI). The well-earned approval was  a long time coming, in part due to the FAA’s internal and inertial hurdles.
