Just a follow-on to my post from 3/9 about GA safety & accident stats
re Nall report.

I read today on AvWeb that 2005 accidents were up according to the
NTSB. Total aircraft accidents were up vs 2004 figures, but fatalities
were significantly decreased. As far as the GA segment, the following
article (on AvWeb) says "GA crash stats rise significantly for 2005"
but doesn't elaborate on what the totals were.

So, maybe my perception of a higher than normal accident rate was not
unfounded?
