"I have to operate the GPS though ..."

Please explain how you do that Skylune, with your head inserted all the way
up your rectum? Do you have the GPS in there with your head? And are your
hands and arms in there too?

Happy to help. Of course if you really stripped GA safety down into
subcategories, I suspect recreational pilots would have the second worst
safety stats, behind the stunt pilots.

BTW, I never said GA is "dangerous." Dangerous is too subjective. Just
that GA is riskier than driving, flying commerical, driving, and yes, even
walking. I fly in my buddy's 172 (I have to operate the GPS though..).
Only on very clear days with minimal winds -- then I trust him. He will
fly in conditions that are pretty marginal for a VFR pilot, and he has
gotten "disoriented" over the Long Island Sound when I was in his plane
once. I just hope he doesn't become another statistic.

He doesn't seem to believe that EVERYTHING is about managing risk.
