Highlights This article catalogues issues of policy concern for the general aviation (GA) sector. Interviews were conducted with experienced GA industry participants. There has been a lack of applied learning by policy makers in the past. The current policy and regulatory framework does not address the long term needs of the sector. Technology and operator acumen are among several areas of policy planning complexity. Policies that purport to support aviation should be crafted to engage all levels of industry and stakeholders.

    Abstract The efficacy and value of Australian general aviation policy has been the subject of strident debate. While a program of regulatory reform has shaped activity in the last decade, little documented evidence of coherent sector development or stimulus exists. The purpose of this paper is to highlight policy issues of contemporary concern to a sample of Australian general aviation stakeholders and to capture insights into their attitudes about the current policy environment. The paper presents the early qualitative findings from part of a longitudinal study into the sector, and initially asks whether the economic concept of ‘wicked problems’ represents a frame for understanding some of the impediments identified by the respondents. The results suggest that although there is a willingness to engage with progressive policy initiatives, efforts to resolve endemic and emergent issues are being compromised by the current bureaucratic engagement strategies in place to participate in industry planning.
