The subsidy from the AIP fund for GA is small. To help out in this "assignment," I analyzed AIP grants for a recent year. Let's take Florida, where there's many "hobby pilots." Exactly 3% of Florida's grant money went to GA airports, and the projects were mostly concrete. Recreational pilots are not helped much if at all by: lengthening a 4,000' rwy, another taxiway, fancy approach light systems, or an ILS. None of the projects involved resurfacing a rwy, which we'll say is beneficial to all users if in bad shape. Also, 8 GA airports rec'd grants, meaning 103 didn't. Fred F.
