FL,
A very interesting and informative document, particularly for PPL students like myself.
Also interesting to note that this doc has not been publicised or distributed by my flying school....
One very interesting trend was the continuing reduction of fatalities in GA - from 40 in 1999 to 7 in 2003. I would be interested to hear views as to whether this indicates a general improvement in pilot competence, a decrease in GA traffic, benefits of new technology or stricter regulations (or, more likely, all of the above). I read conflicting views re: the unwelcome restrictions placed on GA but do the figures speak for themselves?
From a personal point of view it would be nice to hear that I am being better looked after from all aspects - instruction, regulations, government, technology, ATC etc.
Has GA gotten safer, is there less traffic or is it just not fun anymore?
BRL,
What does BTTT mean?
(sick of FLA's)
