Many of our pilots and engineers are trained within the GA<\/abbr> community, and the vast majority of the aircraft in this country operate within it. Its value has been estimated at some \u00a31.4 billion to our economy, and it possesses the potential to support even more skilled jobs than at present and make an even greater contribution to economic growth.<\/p>\n
