For exam ple, m o re accurate inform ation on hours flown and aircraft activ ity lead to m o re accurate saf e ty m e asures, which in turn im pacts genera l avia tion insu ran ce ra tes.

Will my na me be assoc i ated with my survey re s ponses? ABSOLUTELY NOT! PA Consulting Group will keep you r survey respo n ses st rictly confidential. Na m e s of individuals are never a ssociated with responses. T h ere is an identification num b er on your survey only so PA Consulting Gr oup knows who should receive the survey.

Why was I selected for this survey? Your nam e was randomly selected f r om the Civ il Aviation Registry. The Registry shows you as a registran t of this aircra ft as of December 31, 2005

.
What if I co mpleted a s u rvey las t year? If you were random ly sampled to co mplete a su rvey last year, it is b ecause the num ber of aircraft like yours is sm all so your chances of being sele cted again were high. Even if you were sam p led last year, it is very im portant that you respond to this survey this year.

What should I do if . . . . ?

M IF . . . you are no longer in po ssession of this aircraft but were the registered owner on Decem ber 31, 2005, try to answer all the ques tio ns

.

M IF . . . you are no longer in posse ssion of this aircraft and th e aircraft was sold prior to Decem ber 31, 2005, please forward this survey to the new owner for response or call Theresa Tennant of PA Consulting Group at 1-800-826-17 97.

M IF . . . your aircraft, for whatever re ason, was not used during calendar year 2005 , ans w e r Question 1 and return the survey. The fact th a t your aircr a ft was not flown during the year is just as important as the fact that it was flown.

M IF . . . your aircraft was operated prim arily as an air carrier (FAR Part 121 or 129), please answer Questions 1 and 2 and retur n your survey.

M IF . . . your aircraft was ope rated prim arily by another pers on or com p any (e.g., leased), please (1 ) o b tain the necessary info rma tion fro m the opera tor, (2) forw ard this questionnaire to the operator for response , OR (3) call Theresa Tennant of PA Consulting Group at 1-800-826-17 97.

M IF . . . your aircraft is a hot air balloon, this survey pertains to you; please answer all questions.

M IF . . . you have a ques t ion about ho w to fill out the survey o r have a question we hav e n’t answered, call Theresa Tennant of PA Consulting Group at 1-800-826-1797.
