I agree you can not force but at the end of the day is it not part of gaining a PPL flight planning?
The are good train schools and instructors and there are the others do i need to go any further with that.
We have read about aircraft accidents where pilots have not activated a flight plan and crashed is that a good thing or plane stupid how can you get through to these PPL holders how immportant some things are.
We have flight transit Class A airspace crossing a very lot of water crossing an international boundary and they still have not filed a plane should there be some follow up action for some of these and PPL holders that cross the line get fined or points on the licence or some thing to get the message through it is there life but do it correctly and it will not effect others.
