Table Notes:
Beginning in 2004, commuter activity is excluded from all estimates. 2003 and prior, commuter activity was included in the Air Taxi use category.
Columns may not add to totals due to rounding procedures.
An asterisk indicates no active aircraft of that type reporting use of the fuel.
Note that the fuel types are split across pages so that more detail can be reported.
Estimated number of light-sport aircraft has increased significantly in 2007 due to mandatory regulation process changes.
