Using data from the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) national sample of general aviation (GA) aircraft owners, this staff study explores separately the factors that influence aircraft owners' hours flown decisions and factors influencing avionics equipage. Five different hours flown measures are utilized. Chapter 2 concentrates on the importance of aircraft owners' income and operating cost in the hours flown decisions of noncompany owners. Chapter 3 broadens the scope of the hours flown analysis by including company and noncompany owners, and discusses the importance of factors other than income and cost. Chapter 4 presents the factors that differentiate avionics equipped from nonequipped aircraft. Based on these factors a 'system' is developed to predict avionics equipage for each of eight different types of avionics. (Author)
