I am happy that it seems to be safer. I don't know how but we will say its true. I mean the WX is still there the mountains haven't shrunk. Even if everyone took to flying IFR it still isn't a good idea to cross the Alaska Range in a 207 at 12,000 MEA. So dated or not I am certain that the crash free streak of 2005 will not continue for another year.
