Checkboard, I was referring to the USA. The point I was attempting to make, but clearly lost on you, is that the combination of the ASIC and loss of a facilitated C of V process has screwed a significant part of the GA industry.
The Connellan tragedy would not have been prevented if the pilot had held an ASIC. Any more than holding an ASIC today would stop such an event.
I do hate it when people jump on simply to contradict.
