Regulators continually try to regulate (the clue is in the name) away the risks. In so doing, they regulate away capabilities. I don’t see capabilities improving any time soon, due to ever increasing regulation. But the job still needs to be done…. doesn’t it?
Yes, which is why the regulators should include mandatory training in 'military' IF take off techniques as well as all the other IR stuff - you don't necessarily have to test it on an IR check ride but if it is documented as having been taught (even just in the sim) you are giving non ex-mil pilots another string to their bow when the 'job really needs to get done'.
It may not sit well with some but it's a whole lot better than picking bodies out of the wreckage again and again.
I liken it to the RAF's attitude to wingovers (which everyone did anyway out of sight of grown-ups) back in the late 80s early 90s - which were frowned on and not taught during basic or advanced training. Then a very experienced instructor killed himself and his student in a poorly executed wingover and suddenly we were all teaching them and they became part of the syllabus.
Change can happen. It won't stop pilots rediscovering old ways of killing themselves but at least you can remove a percentage of those accidents and any incremental change to prevent crashes has to be a good thing.
