"HJ" I stand by my statement
"The only differnence to the level of safety of the two diff sectors here (GA & Airlines) is the level of maintenance."
The reason is because of things like CFIT for Eg. it's very real & the following (yr statement) means zip !
Average crew (plural) experience
Average age of A/C
Recurrent Training & Checking
You can have all the proceedures under the sun to make flying safer as the airlines strive to achieve but as we have seen such as the Eg. of T/Off without rwy lights it can boil down to no more than the Level of maint. that's safer not the type or class of pilot!
Call me 'Shirley' if you wish just never call me late
