GA Flying Down 20%
This from the April '07 edition of "NTSB Reporter":
"The good news: the number of GA accidents in 2006 declined to 1,515 from the 1,669 accidente in 2005. The bad news: The NTSB reports that part of the decline was due to the steady decrease in the amount of GA activity. Since 1990, says the Safety Board, GA hours flown each year have declined, totalling a 20% drop". If my casual observations of this past winter/spring are accurate, I'd say the drop has continued, and probably accelerated due to higher gas prices. I'm still hoping, however, that everyone has just been saving their nickels for the summer flying season, and that we'll once again hear the radios jammed everywhere we fly... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
