The biggest safety investment in GA is...
...an instrument rating, says Aviation Consumer in a very interesting
and thought-provoking (to me) article in the current issue.
They say collision avoidance gear and all those other gadgets are
really nice, but looking at the accident records, it's pretty clear
that constant and consistent training is the best investment in safety
anyone could make, with the IR at the top of the list. The have a total
of ten items, and a fuel totalizer is at the top together with
training. Only after that comes inflight weather and the other stuff.
I have to agree - and reading Jay's post about his friends made me post
this.
Thoughts?
