And, just how are they going to end "distraction in all modes of travel?" The statement is so broad, it just invites the Federal Governemnet to control more of what we do.

Between DWI's and distracted driving (phone related), those two alone makeup for tens of thousands of accidents across the U.S. per month! It would be nice to see it drop.

hmw10284 Champion Author California Posts:1,147 Points:199,175 Joined:Sep 2012	Message Posted: Nov 20, 2012 12:49:20 PM Ignore hmw10284 Report Abuse How about they focus on 1 thing and do it well. Then attack another. Also when you set goals you have to set measurable goals that are attainable. None of these are quantifiable or measurable. So lets take #9 as a for instance. Before writing the goal they need to determine what makes general aviation unsafe, set a list of priorities, determine how to measure effectiveness and make a plan. In general aviation they may find that most accidents are pilot error. Then find that most pilot error is occurs on landing. So the plan might be to require a certain number of hours for each pilot practicing touch and gos with an instruction. At the end of a specified period you compare current accident rate with past rates and accident rates between pilots who have completed the training and those who have not.
