What sort of questions are they asking?


They want all sorts of personal info that they have no legal right to
know.

Throw it in the garbage.





Legal right to know? Jeez.

A little Googleing came up with the online version of the "2007 General
Aviation Survey" and this may or may not be the same survey in question
but the FAQ clearly states that the participants names are not
associated with the answers.

What does the FAA do with this detailed information?
The information collected in this survey helps the FAA to understand
more about general aviation activities, assess the impact of general
aviation activities on the National Airspace System, and determine the
need for increased traffic facilities and services. Federal, state and
local governments; general aviation associations; and private industry
and individuals use the summary data for safety analyses, planning,
forecasting, and research and development. For example, more accurate
information on hours flown and aircraft activity lead to more accurate
safety measures, which in turn impacts general aviation insurance rates.

Will my name be associated with my survey responses?
ABSOLUTELY NOT! PA Consulting Group will keep your survey responses
strictly confidential. Names of individuals are never associated with
responses.

Why was I selected for this survey?
Your name was randomly selected from the Civil Aviation Registry. The
Registry shows you as a registrant of this aircraft as of December 31,
2007.

In order to better understand general aviation activity of high-use
groups, several groups were sampled at 100% for the 2007 survey. These
groups include: light-sport aircraft, aircraft that are 5 years old or
newer, FAR Part 135 aircraft, rotorcraft, turbine aircraft, and
Alaska-based aircraft.

What if I completed a survey last year?
Even if you were sampled last year, it is very important that you
respond to this survey this year. Owners/operators of multiple aircraft
represent a key portion of the general aviation population. The
newly-designed summary form is aimed at reducing the burden of reporting
for multiple aircraft, thus encouraging maximum participation.

What should I do if I have a question about how to fill out the survey
or have a question we haven't answered?
Please call Theresa Tennant of PA Consulting Group at 1-800-826-1797.
