Default 1 Fatal ...r.a.h or r.a.p?

When I was active in Fighters in the USAF I ran a study to justify the
dollars to be budgeted for flying hours for Fighter pilots in a year.

I found that 18 hours a month was the sweat spot. Less than that the
accidents were higher due to lack of proficiency. More than the 18
hours the rate went up due to the additional exposure.


Wow. When you think of how few hours most GA pilots actually fly, it's
amazing that the accident rate isn't higher than it is...

Of course, GA flying isn't military flying, but still...
