Missing flight plans

As to your question, it just seems so "unprofessional" and I think
unprofessional conduct by pilots is a big part of the reason GA has such a
higher accident rate than cars, and private pilots have the highest rates
among their pilot brethren.



How exactly Michelle will filing a VFR flight plan reduce the accident rate
in aircraft? As since you mentioned it, do you file a drive plane when you
drive a car?

I think Michelle was saying that it was a lack of professionalism that led
to accidents, and not filing a flight plan was one of the marks of
unprofessional flying...

I think she tied professionalism to filing a VFR flight plan and that is
just silly.

Do you always put not only words but entire paragraphs in peoples mouths?

In any case, let's hear it from the real pros (the people that get paid to
fly): How often do you conduct a flight without a flight plan?

How many of you take off without a pretty through pre-flight of the
aircraft.

Here's the point: I never said, or even intimated that not filing a flight
plan caused a crash; the point is the attitude and approach that proc take
that the amateurs do not.

The people who get paid to fly generally are required to fly IFR, so of
course they file flight plans. That argument makes no sense.
