NAAA Pilot Survey Report Released to Members

NAAA is excited to announce that its 2019 NAAA Pilots Survey Report is finished and now available for members to download. The survey revealed that the average age for a pilot is 47 years old. In the 2012 survey, the average age of a hired agricultural pilot was 50 years old. The reduction in age for pilots from the 2012 to the 2019 survey was also reflected in the percentage of pilots in the 20-29 year old age group. In the 2012 survey, 7 percent of pilots were 20-29 years old. In the 2019 survey, that had doubled to 14 percent of pilots. Pilots 30-39 years old increased from 19 percent of all pilots in the 2012 survey to 25 percent in the 2019 survey. The percentage of pilots in both the 50-59 and 60-69 year old age classes decreased between the 2012 and the 2019 surveys.

 

The 2019 NAAA Pilots Survey Report is a companion to the 2019 NAAA Operators Survey Report, which was released in May 2019. This second report is based on the responses collected from hired pilots, while the earlier Operators report is based on responses from operators.
