I agree with Ozexpat, In the 'good old days' it was good to be able to submit face to face the properly worked out flight plan, and woe betide you if there was an error!!
And back then, to fly anywhere 'No SAR no details' was considered poor airmanship! Nowadays.........
And even the ''weekend warrior'' went full reporting.
And so, now they're worried about the accident rate???? And BTW, I wonder how the flying stats ie hours flown by x number pilots etc match up from 'way back then' compared to now??
You only live twice. Once when
you're born. Once when
you've looked death in the face.
