Speaking of all this, I received a GA survey form in the mail today.  The

faa wants to compile via a consulting group all my flying hours and why plus

everything about my plane for the year 2006.  It is purported to be for the

purpose of determining their needs for those very services.  I suppose they

are trying to figure out how to base the charges.  I also suspect although

it does not say this survey is optional.  I am inclined not to provide it.



Any thoughts on its impact

Tim

I think this is your opportunity to provide good input. If you don't respond

the survey may be less beneficial to you and our community. On the other

hand if you don't feel your participation will be relevant perhaps you have

good reason not to. It is good you brought this up, I also would like to

hear other thoughts on this.

I stored it in the round file folder under my desk.

I can see some positive reasons for providing some of this information, but

not to the FAA, perhaps to EAA or AOPA.

My airplane is listed as an RV-7 when it's actually an RV-7A.  I listed

it as an A model from the get-go.  I've twice now tried to get this 

information corrected with no results.  I don't exactly trust the FAA

to use this information for my benefit, only theirs.

I don't see what benefit to pilots it would be for the FAA to know my

average fuel consumption for instance.  I think as a whole the questions

can easily be used to calculate "their" profit from user fees, which

I oppose.  I may be wrong here and maybe some of you can "enlighten" me.

It's not too late, the trashman doesn't come for a couple of days...
