GA Flying...is it safe ?!
Is the following response to this statment ''You are more likely to get be in an accident on the way to the airport, as you are in an aircraft' t rue ?? I personally dont think it is, so i would appreciate peoples opinions:
"This is something we often say to calm nervous fliers, but it's actually not entirely correct. Yes, it's correct for airline travel, but for GA aircraft it's not. Flying/riding in GA planes has about the same statistics of injury as riding a motorcycle, i.e. considerably higher than riding in a car. Not that we want to scare people unnecessarily, but we should also not be disingenuous with this info"
