Genghis,
I agree with you totaly, i read that said article and fully agreed that pilots should take more intrest in the machinery they fly! And we as engineers more intrest in the flying of them!
I work on the heavy's as an engineer and i found a better appreciation of how pilots operate the a/c makes my job easier when fault finding is required.
I really would like to work on GA a/c but my licence is a JAR one and not may cessnas at 5700Kgs
! EASA my be changing that thou
.
Cheers,
Stu.
