FAA Owner's survey

The FAA has been nagging me repeatedly to
fill out their aircraft owner's survey.

Does anyone have a strong opinion either
way as to why I should or should not do it?

Don't ask... Don't tell...

Kinda like voting though. If you don't voice your opinion when offered
the opportunity you sort of negate your right to bitch about stuff.

What sort of questions are they asking?

I'd be interested to know what kind of info they want. That would
determine whether or not I'd respond to them. Curiously, I've been an
aircraft owner for over 18 yrs. and I've never seen this survey.

Seriously? I get them every 3 years. They want to know how many hours
VFR vs. IFR you fly, etc. I think its so they can determine ATC
staffing. Most people inflate their IFR hours so we don't find a lack
of controllers.

You know, I have had my plane since '96 and I do not remember getting a
survey.

Maybe the reason is that I'm not instrument rated. All my hours are VFR.

I'm instrument rated (since 1990), had my airplane since 1994, and have
never seen an owner's survey from the FAA.

They want all sorts of personal info that they have no legal right to know.

Throw it in the garbage.

Maybe a random sample???? I wonder if it could be because I
incorporated my plane. I know the local FBO says they get the form for
each of their planes.
