• Fuel price does have a significant impact on the utilization of piston aircraft As the fuel price takes a larger portion of personal disposable income, both the utilization rate and PSA of piston engine aircraft will decrease • SEP aircraft is more sensitive to the relative fuel price than MEP aircraft. A 10% increase in the relative fuel price would decrease the utilization rate of SEP by 6.6%, MEP by 2.3%, and piston by 6%, respectively • The growth of economy is another important factor that is positively correlated with the utilization of piston engine aircraft In our models, this factor has a greater impact on MEP aircraft.
