Anyway, here's the question: how DO we reduce the accident
rate? How do we preach, not just to the choir, but to the
80-90% of pilots who *don't* attend WINGS seminars or other
recurrant training?

As a low time PP-ASEL, one thing that has helped immeasurably (believe it or
not) is reading the rec.aviation newsgroups.

It's an easy way to tap the pulse of GA.
It's also a great way to see what is important to and getting the attention
of more experienced pilots/owners.

Each time I get in the plane now, I can usually think of something I've read
here that helps me out.
