Exclamation Aviation Safety

A Safety Issue in General Aviation

You have received this e-mail because you have been identified as someone
who is involved with or interested in general aviation safety.

A US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) report on general aviation
statistics* indicates that 5,670 accidents involving general aviation
aircraft occurred over the years 1997 through 1999. Fatalities occurred in
1,060 of these accidents, killing 1,894 people. The number of fatalities
could have been 1,895 for this report period had I not survived four
separate emergency landings, which included total engine failure on three
occasions.

What I, Robert E. Scovill, Jr., have discovered, through extensive research
and FAA-supervised testing, is truly life saving information. I have
informally shared these findings with many pilots and aircraft owners, as
well as FAA officials and others over the last several months and the
response and support have been overwhelming. In order to facilitate the
further dissemination and review of the information, I invite you to visit a
web site called Sump This, which provides further details including
extensive documentation and digital photographs related to the testing. In
addition, the web site offers additional findings and commentary concerning
the obstacles that exist in the current system of oversight by the FAA and
the NTSB.

To learn more, visit Sump This at http://www.sumpthis.com/

If you know other people who are interested in general aviation safety,
please forward this information to them.

Thank you,
Robert E. Scovill, Jr.

Four emergency landings? What's that old line (a conflation of Oscar Wilde and Ian Fleming I think) about the second time sounding like carelessness and the third time sounding like enemy action. This must mean that the fourth one is down to intervention by space aliens or something.

Meanwhile, perhaps "Junior" should fire his mechanic, buy a new engine, or maybe even remember to put some gas in next time.
