2012 AOPA-China, co-sponsored by Aircraft Owner & Pilot Association and Shenyang Municipal People's Government, will be held at Caihu General Airport in Faku County, Shenyang City from 23 to 27 August 2013. With "sharing the blue-sky, taking off towards dreams" as the theme, it will be a general aviation celebration of common people in the country for the first time.
Under China's management and reform over the airspace, with promoting economic development of China's general aviation at the core, 2012 AOPA China will have a deep discussion on the development of China's low-altitude economy and GA inudstry.
The convention will include:
- 2012 China's Low-altitude Economic Forum and AOPA-China Annual Convention
- 2012 AOPA-China International Airshow at Faku County, Shenyang City (on-site GA display and aerobatic flight).
Specialists and scholars of aviation authorities and relevant administrations, as well as other fields, will be invited to discuss the following issues that aroused extensive concern in GA industry:
- Development of GA Industry Chains and Relevant Industries
- Project Determination, Examination and Approval, Construction, Operation Administration and Capital Operation of GA Companies & GA Airports
- Age Limits for Flying of China's GA Pilots
- Discussion on the Development of Making or Assembling Experimental Aircraft in China
Besides, more than a dozen self-made or assembled experimental aircrafts, which are very popular abroad and much favored by enthusiasts in China, will be on display. Though the market foreground of this kind of aircraft is very vast, there are no regulatory statutes and standards to this field in China. The display will hopefully make further understanding in public more knowledge on flight safety.
