Mike,
In my humble opinion, part of the equation is the "PFA inspector approved"
mentality.
With all respect, a close to perfect system like you have in the UK, might
put pilots to sleep, and make them less critical on what they rely their own
and others life on.
It's a tendency, for the authorities to take responsibility for the well-being
of the individual away from that individual. In traffic, safety belts and crash
helmets save lives. But by making them obligatory, the line is crossed. It makes
folk think it's the authorities who are to blame if you walk head on into
a lamp post. Should those not be cushioned? Cushioned lamp post probably would
save lives...:-) I mean in the end it's a pilots decision, flyable or not. And
for that all the facts, and an open discussion, available for everybody is
needed. Already now became clear that some pilots do not have a clue about why
and how their planes stay in the air. Shocking really! Hopefully the general
level of knowledge is improved now.
Remains the fact, that we have to wait for some official outcome of all those
facts
we are happily taking for granted here.
And have some fresh discussion afterward.

Jos Okhuijsen
