Are you making any sort of negative inference here? We both know that 2500 hrs beating around the pattern in a Cessna 150 can be quite different than cross-country flying 250 hrs/yr in a Beech BT36. Both planes require a private pilot's license to fly. actually the most uncomfortable i have ever been was in a plane piloted by a high time airline pilot who in my opinion was extremely confident in just about everything he does. my only point is that i looked at the same accident database prior to purchasing a legacy and my conclusion was that for whatever reasons there had been some poor judgement used especially around weather. i would agree that having relevant experiences and proper training hopefully goes a long way to mitigate these events but i do not believe that total time does a good job of measuring either of these. ------=_NextPart_000_0001_01C5A99C.1E0566F0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Message
