Advanced Damage Detection and Repair Methodologies for High Utilization General Aviation Aircraft

通用航空（GA）-除军事飞行或定期民用客运和货运以外的飞行活动-是加拿大重要的航空航天部门的关键组成部分。 GA部门包括该国所有地区的许多飞行培训学校。 其中许多，像许多其他实体参与通用航空在加拿大也恰好是中小型企业。 这意味着，即使是运营飞机中的适度停机时间也可能对GA业务的可行性产生不利影响。 由这些飞行学校操作的这些飞机飞行非常频繁，通常一天多次，比私人飞行员的典型飞行速度高得多。 与此同时，如果飞机不飞行，那么美洲国家组织可能会失去收入。 因此，最大限度地减少停机时间以保持盈利能力，同时保持加拿大航空运营商所需的高水平安全非常重要。

General aviation (GA) - flight activities other than military flights or scheduled civilian passenger and cargo traffic - is a key part of Canada's important aerospace sector. Included in the GA sector are many flight training schools in all regions of the country. Many of these, like many other entities involved in general aviation in Canada also happen to be small and medium enterprises. This means that even moderate amounts of down time among the operational aircraft could have a detrimental effect on the viability of the GA business. These aircraft operated by these flight schools are flown very frequently, often many times a day, a rate much higher than the typical pace of flights for a private pilot. At the same time, if the aircraft are not flying then OAS may lose revenue. Therefore, it is very important that downtime is minimized to maintain profitability while maintaining the high levels of safety required of Canadian aviation operators.
