"flying light aircraft will always be risky"
Not encouraging words for someone like myself who is about to start training, but I have to admit that I have come to a similar conclusion by speaking with various people.
Many of the posts that I have submitted so far might indicate that I'm simply "scared" of flying .. maybe it's a bit of that, and maybe it's also that I would like to know that my safety is in my own hands. Before people start, I KNOW that it's always better to be prepared for the worst ... but would also hate to think that every flight could end up in a big drama, sort of takes the fun out of it. Then again, it's my love for aeroplanes and flying that still makes me want to do it.
