hi viz vests
Why are people getting so upset about hi viz jackets! It has been in Kembles' AIP for last 3 months so maybe pilots should have noticed it b4 now, plus loads of other airfields/airports say the same Its not a question of how many incidents are occurring with peeps on airfield, what you want to wait till something does happen? Horse riders are requested I believe now to wear hi viz vests due to a couple of fatal horse riding accidents with low flying mil helos, would wearing them have saved them we will never know but maybe could have? It cannot be enforced but come an incident, god forbid, Kemble have done their bit on the HSE side to prove they are proactive. its just a cover your backs policy that you will find in all other quarters of daily life. It doesnt say wear it flying? so why are you getting on a high horse about what if I had an engine fire and pax got burnt with a hi viz jacket? From what I understand a crew member NOT all pax to wear hi viz. Maybe all this heat gone to everyones head!! Relax go flying and enjoy.......maybe I could set up a high viz jacket business
