Its not a far stretch to say those making the decisions in casa have no idea what they are doing, totally making unnecessary and costly changes that offer no real benefit to aviation or even safety. I am also of the opinion if you are in the air it should be mandatory to have a radio period. If you cant afford that dont fly. There should definently be more consultation with experienced GA and aviation operators before making useless changes, pity dick is not in there as a voice, problem is beating your way past all the BS politics that get in the way of making educated and correct decisions
