I totally agree with the subject of this thread, I was also amazed/ shocked to read the latest occurence reports.
I counted 53 seperate incidents of airspace infringments (not including level busts) by GA pilots.
And a further 15 incidents of pilots getting lost/ disorientated.
These figures are appaling and these "pilots" should be ashamed of themselves!!
However, I think it opens a wider debate about the quality of training or rather the required level of knowledge required to pass the PPL ground exams. Yes, everyone makes mistakes no matter how well trained, but i think the figures speak for themselves, this is a very worrying trend indeed!
Almost common to every incident, when ATC told the pilot of the infringement, "The pilot appologised." well Im sorry but that doesnt make it ok.
