Thanks very much for your kind thoughts. You can check out past columns in the publications section of the http://www.airsafetyinstitute.org website under Safety Pilot.

Are your columns available in book form? That would be nice because a lot of readers like me would like to preserve them for future reference. I would take this opportunity to ask you a couple of other things. I’m a 36-year-old Indian. I live in New Delhi, India’s capital, working as a copy editor for an English-language daily newspaper. In 1995, I used to learn gliding, accumulating a little more than 10 hours of flying time in 150-plus sorties. My flying training stopped after that. But I was hooked to flying for life. Since that day, I have never stopped learning how to fly theoritically, expanding my knowledge by extensively reading books written by pilots and website articles. I’d describe myself as a highly dedicated and hardworking flying student minus any flying experience. Based on my theory knowledge, last year I wrote a piece on the Air France 447 crash and emailed it to Mr. Barry Schiff (I idolise him). He actually replied, saying it was well-written. It was the best compliment I have ever received in my life.
On a different level, this love for aviation has completely changed my perspective towards everything — one, it has given me a good attitude and, two, safety consciousness in day-to-day life, at home and in public.
For the last two years or so, I have been following AOPA’s articles online. A local bookstore stocks old issues of AOPA Pilot, from where I often pick it up. From the articles, I get this view that American pilots are very passionate about GA. Thanks to AOPA, today I too have developed a love for GA. Can you guide me how I can, in my own way, help the cause of GA or serve AOPA? I would be very grateful. Warm regards

We must, as pilots, take the initiative to promote GA and protect our GA airports. Both these missions go hand-in-hand. You can do it on a local level. The efforts do take time and it is hard work, but the outcome can be most gratifying!
