From the ‘subline’ to the ridiculous. Never mind the piston engines, what about the batteries? It was the practice to build them for the life of the sub, but then perhaps different batteries, now Li-on or some new experiment?? Maybe talk to Elon for a great deal.
I hear that in the US you can instruct flying in some cases without any aviation medical. It would make perfect sense if your student was solo or had a basic licence already. But to imagine sense or commonsense has any place in administration of aviation in Beauracratalia is to fly in the face of facts.
The Stockholm syndrome plays out so well, we get a whiff of Carmody’s medical reform ideas and isn’t that great ?Instructors might be able to work with a Class 2 medical, how wonderful. Does the same person drive a car to work or the DAME’s surgery? The whole set up is so stupid, you can’t help wondering when people will wake up to the current bureaucratic palace of fantasy, a colossal edifice of waste and mismanagement.
Treat aviation like other forms of transport, straightforward rules and then let people get on and make business and services. Common law and market economics, the latter much aided by the information revolution, will sort the details. Ring, write, email your federal MP and Senators is one necessary way if we are to achieve any sanity.
