Default State of GA safety (2005 Nall Report)

by Jose Mar 9, 2006 at 09:40 PM




I haven't read the study so I can't really comment on it intelligently.
But like the difference between precision and accuracy, there is a
difference between pro-rated costs and marginal costs which needs to be
taken into account. One must also consider who benefits - it's not just
the immediate users.

And even if xxx were subsidized, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Jose



True. Not NECESSARILY a bad thing. I agree. That means the subsidies
must stand up to the political/budgetary debate about why they are
desirable, in the context of competing budgetary demands.

I disagree with those who claim there are no subsidies -- the data, even
if imperfect, makes this plain. See the BTS and FAA websites that track
amount of moneys deposited into the Aviation Trust Fund by source- you
will see that AV gas taxes are a tiny, tiny percentage.
