Private pilots, usually flying single-engine airplanes, make thousands of flights every day to points all over North America. These usually have a speed range of between 70 and 250 mph. Within the range of the airplane, perhaps up to one-third of the contenent, a small airplane is often quicker than the commercial airlines becuase it can be flown directly from the departure point to the ultimate destination. This eliminates the need to arrive at a large congested airline terminal two hours before the departure time, the need for stopovers and connecting flights, as well as the need for extended ground transportion after the flight. Small airplanes can utilize thousands of landing areas not available to larger aircraft, and serving hundreds of towns without commercial airline service.
