Why do you think the time to first solo has blown out to 15-20 hours as against the average of 8-10 hours in the early days of Tiger Moths which had no flaps, no radios and required a keener judgement of the glide path
Why do you think the light aircraft accident rate was 4 times worse in 1950's compared to today ?
