Most of these aircraft are a part of civil aviation. 'You Will remember from other booklets in ybur AFJROTC course that civil aviation includes all types of flying except military flying. When we think of aviation other than mili- tary, we usually think of the frying done by commercial airlines. If we limit our thinking to commercial flights, however, we will be only partly right, for civil aviation includes not only the commercial airlines but also general aviation. You undoubtedly are familiar with military lying and commercial airline flying, b4t the term "general ,avia- tion" may.6e new to you. This category of flying consists of nonscheduled vying activities in business and agriCulture, contract cargo transportation, industrial' aviation, flight instruction, air taxi service, and recreation eying. The growth of flying aotivity has increased. the'necessityr for regulation of flying by the Federal Government. At the' same time, it has,.of course, greatly increased the necessity for improved facilities of 'every type.It has also made imperative an effectiveairtraffic control system. This booklet, then,is concerned primarily with these broad subject areas=the relationship between .civil aviation-and the Federal dasdernment, the types, growth, development, and status of both general aviation -and commercial airlines, the major facilities provided for civil aviation, and' air traffic control, Some people argue that, despite the fact that aviation is now more than 70 years old, air transpcirtation is still in its infancy or at least that the full potential of air trans- portation has not Nen realized. Certainly' civil aviatioc\ has grown by leaps and bounds since the close of World .3 / War II. Just how far it will go and the extent to which we will depend in the future on air transportation remains to be seen. But to anticipate the future and appreciate the developments under way, we should, try to understand the baCkground of civil aviation and its present status. , / , , A 1 4` / r I 401 6 4 1 1.% Contents PREFAC E III Chapter1-14AEGOVERNMENT AND , 'PRIVATE AVIATION 1 Beginnings of Air 'Transportation 2 World War I and After 5 Civil Aviation and World War II 12 Post World War II Effects 13 Aviation Safety . 16 Relations Between Civil and Military Aviation 19 1 Project Beacon 20 Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) 21 The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) . 23 Chapter 2GENERAL AVIATION 25 , Agricultural Aviation 27 Business Aviation 29 1 Instructional Flying 29 Recreational Flying , 30 s' Air Taxi Service 31 Civil Air Patrol i 32 Growth and ImpactOf ,ii General Aviation 34 1 Chapter 3COMMF::FCIA1.

A brief history of civil aviationis followed by a section stressing the close cooperation between military ,and civilian air resources during World Wars I and II. Gov- ernmental cooperation with civilian authorities is further dem- onstiated by Project Beacon, the role of the civil reserve air fleet, and the etsablishment of an international civil aviation orgapization.'After you have studied this chapter, you should be able to do the following: (1) tell haw civil aviation in this 'country worked together with the Government, 'especially during wartime; (2) explain the role of the civil reserve air fleet in the defense of our Nation; and (3) outline the main areas of responsibility of the Federal Aviation Administration. evilaviationincludes all flying other than military, but our at- tention usually focuses on the commercial airlines with their cargo and passenger .services. Most people arc aware of ai flying. Relatively few people, however, arc conscious of general aviation which' includes private flying for business or pleasure as well as such diverse activities as agricultural crop dusting, geologi- cal prospecting, mapping, and highway traffic regulation. Yet gen- eral aviationtrafficisquite heavy and has compounded prob- lems at some of the busier airports. CIVIL AVIATION AND FACILITIES During the years sincethe Wright brothers'firstflight,civil aviation has grown to maturity under the stimulus of War and the paternal guidance of the Federal Government. Virtually every contribution of research to military aviation is ultimately reflected in the progress of civil aviation. At the same time, the Govern- ment has directlyand persistentlyfosteredthe growth ofcivil aviation, particularly in the lean early years. Today the airlines the most important component of civil aviationare on the point of "financial independence. Civil aviation is a major clement of aerospace power. A natiqn's ability to use its airspace is measured by the density of its civil air traffic.Civil aviation occupies an integral positionin the larger complex of national aerospace power and contributes in important ways to the security of the nation. Throughout the spectrum of aerospace power, technological de- velopment and efficiency of the civil and militaryestablishments go hand in hand.

  • The Contribution of Global Alliances to Airlines' Environmental Performance
    sustainability Article The Contribution of Global Alliances to Airlines’ Environmental Performance Belén Payán-Sánchez , Miguel Pérez-Valls * and José Antonio Plaza-Úbeda Economics and Business Department, University of Almería, Ctra. Sacramento s/n, La Cañada de San Urbano, 04120 Almería, Spain * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 27 June 2019; Accepted: 22 August 2019; Published: 24 August 2019 Abstract: Global alliances have traditionally been related to improvements in the economic and operational performances of companies, particularly in the airline industry. However, we still do not know the effect of the participation in this kind of multilateral agreement on the environmental performance of airlines. The main aim of this work is to analyze whether the alliance membership of airlines has an effect upon their environmental performance, and if so, whether or not the characteristics of the global alliance, as well as the business model of the airline, may influence this relation to a greater or lesser extent. The results of regression and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) in a sample of 252 airlines (58 included in one of the three global alliances: Star Alliance, Oneworld, and SkyTeam) show a strong and inverse relationship between environmental performance and belonging to an alliance. The paper also shows empirical evidence of the influence of the business model of the airline on environmental performance. These results suggest important implications for managers facing challenges regarding sustainability. Keywords: global alliances; sustainability; environmental performance; airlines; aviation 1. Introduction The aviation sector is the fastest-growing source of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide [1]. Many authors and corporations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA), agree that environmental sustainability may be achieved through external pressure with the imposition and accomplishment of different policies, regulations, taxations and other fiscal instruments [2–6].
