General Aviation and European Air Transport System - Third Call FP 7

In answer to the Commission Communication on General and Business Aviation the workshop "General Aviation and European Air Transport System - Third Call FP 7" is organized July 7th-8th 2009, in Warsaw Poland.

One of its main objectives is discussion on future European Air Transport System based on small aircraft.

    During the workshop all European stakeholders will have an opportunity:
  1. to discuss on research priorities from GA_ATS and GA perspective, which could also provide a feedback for the future Work Programme documents of FP7
  2. to present project ideas for the 3rd Call in Aeronautics in order to elaborate proposals of CSA-SA and L1 type which would incorporate both ideas and potential beneficiaries from all countries interested in GA related research.

    Remark: The workshop will give the opportunity to select the most interesting ideas for proposals which should increase "success rate" during evaluation.

    You should remember that almost each area of aeronautics part in Transport Theme of FP7 can be dedicated to General Aviation (e.g. small aircraft). The other thing is that in aeronautics we have an Era-Net scheme (i.e. AirT-Net) which gives an opportunity to implement research activities that are part of national research programs. This means that if some project ideas presented during the workshop do not fit to 3rd call (or other calls) can be implemented via calls of AirT-Net.

  3. to contribute to a general overview of current situation of GA from the perspective of manufacturers and aircraft operators as well as an overview of research related to GA (SESAR, collaborative research projects such as EPATS, CESAR, SOFIA, PPlane, etc.)
  4. to discuss on potential future developments based on e.g. feedback from EASA and European Civil Aviation Conference (the study requested by the EC).
  5. other
