It is quite frustrating, especially for those of us who live in the mountains and use that water for heating in the home. Another thing is the law about a fence around my outdoor spa pool - council inspected after installation - nothing said about the swift creek across the road or the lake around the corner. Can't chop down trees without permission. Asked the council to chop down a dangerous tree but no response so when the crash came in the middle of the night I checked that no-one was injured then gave them another phone call. Still, I've lived in UK and USA and I could probably think of a few things to whinge about there too.
And another thing - the holder of the certificate of registration is responsible, by a specific law, to provide pilots with adequate information for safe operation of their aircraft. So, when Sunfish comes to fly my Decathlon he'll find my notes recommending that certain parts of the POM be disregarded.
eg "Approach airspeed - 55 mph" compared to a book stall speed of 53 mph. It does note, however, "A relatively high rate of descent is possible ..."
