Until you normalize according to the number of hours flown, you don't
know
if the accident rate has increased, decreased, or stayed the same.

The Nall study has not done this in the past. Perhaps the 2005 study will
"adjust" the fatality stats to show that 2005 surpassed 2004 as the safest
year yet for GA.

You're mistaken. The Nall report has always expressed accident and fatality
rates as a function of hours flown. Otherwise, the rates would not be
meaningful as measures of safety.
