Cessna, what is this business about the NPPL? You say I changed my mind on it but I have never expressed an opinion on it one way or the other.
I agree it would have been a good idea to perhaps research more specific examples and stuff but I did give one example and it was unjust to ground him, its extremely unlikely that he'd expierience one when flying and as a PPL he wouldnt have loads of passengers, any of whom would probably know him and so know about the minor stroke and make their own decisions to fly with him. The chances of him injuring anyone on the ground are also very small and thats only IF he happened to suffer a stroke. The risk was so small that it should have been left up to him to decide. If you ban him from flying then you should also ban him from driving.
I am not too happy with the CAA because of things like this but obviously with such a large organisation a few things are bound to go wrong and the organisation is worthwhile. I would like things to be less controlled but thats impossible and would be quite unsafe as there are so many more planes around nowadays.
