I'm saying that if I didn't think it was safge enough for my family or
friends I wouldn't think it was safe enough for me.

Yes, I do understand what you are saying. My point is simply that every
pilot who was involved in a fatal accident (speaking of non-experimental
GA
and excluding those who set out to commit suicide) most likely believed
what you and I believe.

The challenge we all continually face is putting our "money where our
mouths and keyhboards are." In other words, translate this belief into
actions (proper weather briefing, proper go/no-go/go-and-then-turn-
around-or-land decisions, proper fuel planning, practice or fly enough to
maintain proficiency, etc). Looking at GA accident statistics, this
clearly does not happen with enough regularity.


Again I couldn't agree more but that wasn't what the OP was talking about.
He was asking a question related to piloting friends and family before he
has X hundred hours.
