As a part of our English class we are required to generate an "Exploration Project". The Exploration project is a full year project which consists of finding an answer to a question of choice. I personally do want to be a pilot so my topic is related to aviation. My research topic is " Why is air travel the safest method of transportation?". A common phrase people use but is it necessarily true, that is what I want to find out. Along with your answers and my research I hope to come to a solid conclusion to this question. I have composed several questions that I believe will help me achieve this. If a question is too personal please put the question number and then the answer as "too personal". If you do not know the answer do the same thing but instead write "I do not have the answer". After answering all the questions please feel free to leave any advice or information that you believe would be valuable, such as pictures, links, and etc. Once more, I thank you for your time immensely and I really appreciate it.
Please leave your full name, how long you have been working as a pilot and the level certficate you have.
