If I had to make a list of recommendations to the group on how they could improve their flying skills and reduce their risk of having an accident it would be this: 1. Upgrade your pilot certificate. If you have a private pilot certificate get a commercial certificate. If you have a commercial certificate get an ATP. You already have the most expensive part of flight training sitting in your hangar. Put it to good use! The training to upgrade exposes you to so much more. You don't have to have aspirations of flying heavy metal to benefit from this upgrade training.? 2. Get a new rating or certificate in something totally different. It will broaden you flying skills in ways you cannot imagine. I got a seaplane rating a couple of years ago. Recently I added a glider certificate. I land "engine out" every time in a glider. No sweat! 3. Sign up for the FAA FAAST program. Take the online courses. Great new training material. Structured program. And it is free! See www.faa.safety.gov 4. Take a flight review once a year with?an instructor who specializes in your aircraft type. Take an IPC every six months if you fly IFR. 5. Enroll the services of a Master CFI. They are the country's best flight instructors. see http://www.nafinet.org/mastercfi/master_lookup.html?? Do more than the minimum required by the FAR's. Stretch your wings & have fun!

 A question for those who know. Is there a plane in one of the IFR simulator 
home software that might be pretty close to the Lancair (in terms of 
performance). When I started flying again, I rekindled my IFR skills with IFT 
Pro. I thought it was great. On-Top has a handfull of aircraft types. Which 
ones are close to Lancair performance. My guess is that it may not matter too 
much.
