Abstract
General aviation is an underutilized transportation mode, particularly when compared to
alternative modes such as the automobile and the commercial airlines. In this research, barriers to
the utility of general aviation were identified through a web-based survey of active general
aviation pilots, with 1,471 surveys returned and suitable for analysis. The survey data indicated
five key barriers which were thought by pilots to be currently reducing their ability to utilize
general aviation transportation to its fullest extent: weather, expense of the travel mode, a lack of
mobility at the destination, doorstep-to-destination travel time, and reduced access to general
aviation transportation.
