Larry,
not exactly sure what you are trying to say here, but if you are going
to rebut this article you should have some references. Your opinion is
nice, but facts would be better. For example you state that the author
implies that GA is more inherently dangerous than the airlines. This
is actually true and the statistics bear this out. Another example is
where you state that the reason for more GA crashes as opossed to the
airlines is because there is more GA planes. This doesnt take into
account the fact that airliners fly more. There are nearly 26000
airline flights a day (This is actually up from 9/11 by a couple
grand), how many GA operations are there? Does the typical GA plane
spend over 300 hours a month in the air? I dont want to beleger this
and I hope you get the idea.
There is no doubt that this report contains some errors, but I would
sugest that you rebut the report on the basis of survivability of GA
crashes and not the comparison of ailines and GA fatality rates. Good
luck and let us know what you come up with.
