Me too. But I wouldn't have been gutsy enough to say so.It's usually one
area person slacks of in after he has started to slack of on other areas,
but can justify it somehow. The pilot often thinks a spouse or other
person will know exactly what to do if they are overdue. And somehow
magically know when they are overdue.


Not even the notification aspects, but the entire approach (no pun intended)
to flying in general.

Have a look at the GA accident stats contrasting pro's and amateurs. Then
realize that flying like a pro is much more than getting paid for flying.

Oh, well; the gene pool continues to get skimmed.
