It describes the wide range of GA activity and the essential services provided to the whole of the populace. It also demonstrates that GA can function in harmony with the environmental aspirations that are the right of everyone to expect, part of the problem to be overcome being the objections that some have to the mere sight of a whispering light aircraft or a glider. As it appears that to some the sight and sound of a commercial jet is far less offensive than that of a lighter aircraft there is a considerable challenge to meet.

Amongst other things the pamphlet outlines the scale of GA in the UK and the role it plays in transport, business, emergency services, aerial work and commercial pilot training.

"Why GA?" will be distributed widely and you should be able to obtain a copy from your Association. It is also available from the GAAC office and by download from the GAAC web site.
