Failure Rates

[ALIMBO]

Hey guys I'm writing a paper for a class and I was wondering where I could get failure rates for PPL. I just need some statistics basically thanks for the help.

I guess no one wants to "give" you information for your paper.

I will see if I can assist you to find some information. No free lunch here.

Where have you looked so far for any information? What is the topic you wish to talk about, Any thing more specific than "failure rates"? Is this a college or high school paper?

Its a college paper I haven't had time to do much research on it I have a couple more weeks til its due but thanks for the help so far. Be on the lookout for a poll I'm going to have based on automation in the cockpit and your thoughts on it.

Those are interesting numbers that diss-spell portions of the belief that FAA checkrides have higher failure rates.
