Why all these stupid rules ?
A quick look at this forum and you will see that we are bound by no end of rules.
It would seem to me that taking to the air without breaking one or more rules is very hard to do.
I know that some on this forum are in love with the in's & out's of the rule book and seem love the black art that is aviation law but don't you think that it's time that the law's of aerodynamics stopped taking a back seat to all the crap that comes out of the CAA and EASA.
Just take a look at the two YES ! two pages on this forum on the subject of club checks and you will see what I am getting at.
