APPENDIX II: PRELIMINARY AIRPORT ASSESSMENT <br /> APPENDIX <br /> <br />Airport Strategic Business Plan, 07/26/2021 61 <br />General Aviation Active Aircraft <br />As with new General Aviation aircraft deliveries, the number of active General Aviation <br />aircraft hit a low in 1994 of 172,936. Since that time, the number of active aircraft <br />increased to a high of 231,607 in 2007. This increase was attributed to the growth of <br />experimental and turbine aircraft, the resurgence of new aircraft manufacturing (i.e., the <br />growth of new aircraft deliveries and the number of companies developing Supplemental <br />Type Certificate programs to modify and keep the aging aircraft fleet active). However, <br />since the peak in 2007, active aircraft has dropped year after year. Over the last 5 years, <br />active aircraft increased 3.2% to 215,329 or a compounded annual increase of 0.3%. <br />Figure 10 represents general aviation active aircraft through 2018. <br />Figure 10: General Aviation Active Aircraft  <br />
