1800-54 2011 General Aviation and Part 135 Activity Survey - Lar

2012 General Aviation and Part 135 Activity Survey
Large Fleet Form

This form collects information based on 6 broad aircraft categories:

• Turbojets

• Turboprops

• Reciprocating Aircraft (excluding rotorcraft)

• Turbine Rotorcraft

• Reciprocating Rotorcraft

• All other aircraft types (i.e., gliders, balloons, etc.)

You will be asked to provide basic summary information for your fleet by each aircraft category. We recommend responding for one aircraft category at a time—each category should be completed independently of the others.

When you are finished, please return the completed pages in the postage-paid envelope provided. You may also fax your responses to 1-608-661-5181. If you would like to complete the questionnaire online, please visit the following web site: www.aviationfleetsurvey.com (to login, use your 7-digit password located in red in the bottom right corner of the page).
