PAC's Twin Otter aircraft collided with a PAL Boeing 737 that was preparing for take-off on runway 13 at Manila International Airport. To determine liability, the court applied the Rules of the Air which state that aircraft on take-off roll have right of way. The court found PAC's pilots primarily responsible as they failed to stop and request updated clearance before crossing the active runway, disregarding PAL's right of way. This gross negligence on the part of PAC's pilots in not exercising even slight care was the proximate cause of the collision. The ATO could not be blamed for issuing clearances that turned out to be unsuitable as pilots have final authority over aircraft disposition.

Introduction
Since 9/11, the general aviation community has struggled to help the public understand the nature of GA.
General aviation aircraft have long been used as platforms to smuggle narcotics and weapons, and for human trafficking operations.
In 1993, the FBI indicated that Osama bin Laden assessed the possibility of using an agricultural aircraft to spread a chemical agent on a ground target.
GA provides vital services to the United States and greatly enhances the U.S. economy. GA accounts for some 77% of all flights in the United States. With more than 200,000 aircraft, 650,000 pilots, and 19,000 airports and landing strips, the GA industry provides jobs and opportunities for thousands of people.

The Nature of GA Flight Operations
GA 3/4 of all takeoffs/landing in US
$100 billion to US economy
1.3 million jobs
GA provides vital services to the United States and greatly enhances the U.S. economy. Approximately 24% of all GA flights are conducted for business or corporate use nearly two-thirds of all business flights carry passengers in mid-level management positions, sales representatives, and project teams for major corporations.
GA accounts for three-quarters of all takeoffs and landings in the United States, contributes about $100 billion to the U.S economy, and has about 1.3 million jobs.
These estimates do not include multipliers, such as the number of jobs created by the hotel, rental car, restaurant, and tourist industries. The creation of GA security policies is important to protect these interests.

Securing General Aviation
5,000 GA airports in US
14,000 private airstrips
Securing general aviation is challenging considering the magnitude and nature of GA operations. There are approximately 450 commercial service airports in the United States and more than 5,000 GA airports. Those 14,000 airports are not regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or the TSA.

Securing General Aviation
Issues to consider:
What is the threat to GA airports and aircraft?
What is the threat to public or infrastructure from GA aircraft?
What security measures should be required or recommended to prevent both of the aforementioned threats from occurring?
Most GA aircraft are too light to be used as a platform for conventional explosives and heightened vigilance by GA airport and aircraft operators would make it ...
