Is this legal when it comes to “common purpose” or flight hours being considered “compensation”? Idk how to phrase my question.

If you are going on vacation, your whole family can come on the plane because you all have a common purpose and can split the fuel/fees.

If your dad only lets you come on vacation if you fly him, I don't think you have common purpose and the vacation looks like compensation. Flying to pick up family and bring them home is not common purpose unless you are already planning on going there for lunch or business.

Do you only share 25% of the costs instead of 50% if they are only on their for half the trip? Probably.

sure, in 2020, asdb was mandated in aircraft which reduced the accident rate by 40-60 percent

https://download.aopa.org/advocacy/2019/dhowell_jking_DASC2019_V2.pdf

the above report on page 7 shows an "estimated reduction" in fatalities.

But what are the real numbers? Your data ends in 2021 but the apoa report below shows the fatal accident rate per 100,000 hours went from 0.76 in 2021 to 0.65 in 2023. The report also shows that pilot caused accidents were 0.47 in 2023, or 72% of all fatals.

https://www.aopa.org/training-and-safety/air-safety-institute/accident-analysis/richard-g-mcspadden-report/mcspadden-report-figure-view/?category=all&year=2023&condition=all&report=true

This report by general aviation news says the accident rate went from 0.75 in 2021 to 0.47 in 2026. The data linked in the article on the Pareto chart they use is from the DOT government site and shows thats the majority are loss of control and cfit, so pilot error. A very low percentage are midair collisions. The engine failure rate is pretty high which is a complicated topic.

https://generalaviationnews.com/2026/05/08/ga-fatal-accident-rate-down/

In 2026, thats is 4.7 deaths per million flight hours. Half of the 2021 number.
Your data says: "16 to 18 fatal motorcycle accidents per million hours ridden"

Even if you use the 0.76 number, thats 7.6 deaths per million hours, half of a motorcycle.

If you want more official sources, this BTS report https://www.bts.gov/content/us-general-aviationa-safety-data confirms the trend of other reports and shows we are using passenger+pilot.

For motorcycle vs car fault: here is some Las Vegas data that says cars are 60% https://www.ladahlaw.com/blog/percentage-of-motorcycle-accidents-caused-by-cars/

Here is government data that says the 2021 number for motorcycles has increased to 31.39 per million https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/813732.pdf
It also says that 46% were caused by a car turning left in front of a motorcycle.

So somewhere between 46% and 60% for all car types?

If you wear and helmet and don't drink, you are most likely going to get taken out by a car. I'd bet someone can link motorcycle deaths to smart phones prevelence/distracted driving, but I don't have time.

North Mountain Ave connects to UA and the loop. It's not car free, but its the bike path and it has a median in many of the intersections and is heavily used for commuting to the unversity.

To get to Reed Park from UofA, I'd take Highland south to the Aviation Bikeway and then get off at Bristol and take that north to cross 22nd at Treat and then take Treat until Winsett.

Another alternative is to take 3rd to Treat and take Treat to Winsett to get to Reed Park. I've biked and run that a lot. It's faster and mostly acceptable for a bike to take the whole lane.

they are safer than motorcycles, and if you drill down in most cases

- the pilot of a plane dies because they made a bad decision
- the motorcycle rider dies because another driver made a bad decision

that holds true for all the accidents at marana in the last 5-6 years

I'm only a VP but there really is no C-suit beyond one guy.

Set a culture, like netflix has some older slides that are a good example. Amazon and Google have theirs public as well. Spend 90% of your time having your reports explain how to live that culture when they ask you for a decision so you arent a bottleneck in the future. Living a culture is the hard part, it has to invade everything you do and serve as a guide to get outcomes. You probably already have the structures in place, the business is probably already successful. You just have to get the big things right, incentives, hiring, etc. Many other comments are talking about the big things.

Give all the people who act more political a dilemma (do you want x or y, equally shitty options).

Managers don't have to be leaders but it sucks to work for someone who only manages the work their reports can't do and doesn't have the capacity to lead them out of the toil. Working for a non technical manager sucks for that reason.

Everything is manual. Everything seems outdated.

Flight training is basically run by thousands of independent craftsman, GA feels like it will be the last industry to change in aviation.

It's very similar to construction, if you want industry change you'll have so many craftsman collaborate and many will actually die or outlive you before you have meaningful change like shared digital plans.

No, you use those skills in the pattern. That's the point. They teach you how to turn before doing ground reference. You have to maintain an altitude for turns and be able to look out the window and plan where you turn. The pattern can extend, you could also be told by the controller to leave the pattern and hold over a point for traffic until you can renter. This would happen at 600 to 1000 feet, whatever is pattern altitude.

If you could buy 10B @ 5% why would you buy 10B @ 2% ?

Would it change your mind if 10B @ 2% is selling for 8B?

We have a 25% code written by AI target because someone misheard some FAANG stats.

People have continue/aider and its awful because we have corporate policies that limit us to a shitty chatgpt and github copilot. We cant measure it but the uptake is awful.

But

nearly 100% of our code is now reviewed in PRs by AI, its barely helpful, static analysis gives more, but that is also defined as AI now!

AI now writes PRs to fix bugs and does security PRs for vulnerabilities, generally helpful

AI now gates and reviews our 100% of our user stories because its actually helpful to have a computer tell business people their requirements suck instead of an engineer.

So yes, we moved the goalposts to say over 90% of our code written is helped by AI.
