Below is a first draft of my critique of this report. Any
suggestions, error corrections, or other critique is welcome.
Discussion of these two points might allow for a more succint
reply than a point-by-point discussion of the numerous flaws
in the "research"
It is interesting to note that the very type of pilot and flying these
"researchers" are "studying" has been promoted by the FAA and
industry. Specifically, the Recreational Pilot.
Another problem with this "research" is that it doesn't address
what would be an acceptable level of risk. It paints GA as unsafe
because it's not as safe as airline flying, which is basically one
of the safest modes of transportation. What IS safe enough?

I have nothing to back this up, but I fail to see any special virtue in a
succinct reply; unless the objective is to have a "Letter To the Editor"
printed, and I doubt that is available.
