Just got off the phone. They called earlier this week & I suggested
they call back (they did).

Anybody else done one recently?

I got a call a few weeks ago. Asked me for money. I told them I pay
for recurrent training. If they could get me my money back in insurance
reductions, then i would donate to their safety courses. I feel I pay
enough for my own safety - don;t need to spend more for something that
does not get me much. Some pilots don't give a hoot. Why should I
subsidize other people's training/education? I already do that by force
from my government with the local school taxes.


If it's through the Air Safety Foundation it's well worth the money.
The ABS uses them and they have a whale of a safety course. runs a
whole week end with 10 hours of class room and 4 to 5 hours flying.
Counts for a BFR, one phase of the wings program, and an IPC. I'm
missing something as it should be four things.

The ASF does a lot of education and they just might keep some one from
running into you.
