GDMT,
The pile of CAS infringements after the PFA Rallye makes for depressing reading.
However I am pretty sure that this is due to a combination of the following:
1. Complex airspace structure.
2. Attendance by a large proportion of people that may be fly relatively few hours per year.
3. The lack of a dedicated facility to give these people assistance when things start to go wrong.
But not necessarily linked to being a paid up member of the association.
Now before all and sundry stumble over each other to point out that any competent PPL should be able to read the AICs and navigate properly (all things I agree with entirely) would the conclusion not have to be that the facts bear out that there is an issue which needs addressing in a proactive and creative way. May be necessitating some lateral thinking?
