  4. 3. Come Fly with Me (Sustainably) : Pathways to Sustainable General Aviation and Private Pilot Training

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Miljövetenskap

    Author : Michael Stiebe; [2022]
    Keywords : General Aviation; Sustainable Aviation; Sustainable Development; Electric Aviation; Noise Pollution; Leaded Fuel; AVGAS 100LL; Tetraethyl Lead Phaseout; Pilot Training; Recreational Aviation; Switzerland;

    Abstract : Whereas commercial aviation is attempting to achieve the reduction of its substantial carbon footprint, general aviation’s (GA) climate change contribution is negligibly small, which is why the sector is facing other sustainability challenges mainly entailing the operation of dated technology and aircraft, increasing regulatory constraints, rising costs, noise emissions, and popular discontent, as well as remaining the last mobility sector in the world to still use leaded fuels. Throughout recent years, there have been remarkable sustainability trends in GA as well as heightened efforts to improve its emissions profile (noise, pollutants, CO2) and environmental reputation, for instance by the increased use of electric aircraft, especially for private pilot training.
