General aviation refers to all civilian flying activities that are not conducted by commercial airlines or the military. This includes a wide range of aircraft operations, such as private flying, flight training, air ambulance services, and agricultural aviation. General aviation plays a crucial role in connecting communities, providing transportation, and supporting various industries. Aircraft used in general aviation can vary from small single-engine planes to larger business jets. Pilots in this sector often hold different types of licenses, such as a private pilot license or a commercial pilot license. General aviation airports are typically smaller and serve as hubs for these diverse flying activities.
