“Excellent safety record” is a relative term
Small commercial aircraft have an excellent safety record relative to every other commercial form of transportation.
you continue to conflate all commercial aircraft with small aircraft
Do you really need to have it explained to you how private aircraft have nothing to do with this conversation? LMAO.
We are discussing small commercial aircraft here. And small commercial aircraft have an excellent safety record relative to every other form of commercial transportation.
to continue to insist that these tiny aircraft
If the FAA thinks they are safe, then I believe they are safe. I am definitely not taking your opinion over theirs, since you know nothing about commercial aircraft and are incapable of distinguishing commercial aircraft from private aircraft.
adding a whole lot more of them to the skies
Another uninformed opinion. It must be very convenient for you to ignore FAA safety guidelines. But I trust the FAA to determine whether the skies are too congested, not you.

Its not an “opinion” but that adding a bunch of these new, experimental craft increases risk, it’s a fact which you continue to ignore while you keep using false equivalencies and straw men while performing mental gymnastics to argue in circles.
The truth is, there is no safety record, establish for these vehicles, because they haven’t been flown like this before. Keep living in your fantasy because that’s all your argument is and nothing you say can change that.

No, it’s an opinion. Actually, “fearmongering” is the right term.
You are afraid of new technology. The FAA isn’t. And if the FAA isn’t, then neither am I. Because they understand aviation, and you don’t.

“Nuh-uh!” isn’t a very good argument, dude. Most people learn this in elementary school. And adding ad hominem attacks to your arsenal of logical fallacies doesn’t really do much to strengthen your position either.
As for the FAA, they dal with risk management, which they believe they can handle,and that’s very different than what you’re claiming, as I’ve said over and over and over. It’s not my fault that you keep ignoring the facts. Your fantasies aren’t going to save you or anyone else when one of these things comes crashing down from the sky, and that will happen.

“The sky is falling” isn’t a very good argument, dude. Most people learn this in elementary school.
The FAA and I claim the same thing. Commercial aviation is safe. All commercial aircraft, of any size, are safer than any other commercial vehicle. The facts are on our side.
You are terrified that commercial aviation will be unsafe in the future. but you have no facts on your side. Merely speculation based on fear of the unknown. People have been afraid of things “crashing from the sky” since the birth of aviation. People were afraid of jets, they were afraid of transatlantic flights, they were afraid of autopilot systems.
Anything new can strike fear into the uneducated.
The FAA doesn’t think the future will be less safe, because they have educated themselves with the facts. And I trust the FAA. Their success speaks for itself.
