PREFACE The U.S. Civil Airmen Statistics is an annual study published to meet the demands of FAA, other government agencies, and industry for more detailed airmen statistics than those published in other FAA reports. Statistics pertaining to airmen, both pilot and nonpilot, were obtained form the official airman certification records maintained at the FAA Aeronautical Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. An active Airman is one who holds both an airmen certificate and a valid medical certificate. Airmen who must have a valid medical to exercise the privileges of their certificate are all airplane pilots, rotorcraft pilots, flight navigators, and flight engineers. Glider pilots are not required to have a medical examination but the numbers represent only those who had a valid medical certificates on record at the Aeronautical Center. This study was prepared in the Office of Aviation Policy and Plans, Planning Analysis Division, Statistics and Forecast Branch (APO-0).
