The cost at this moment is inhibative of GA. I would rather see more flying in the UK. However the standard of Airmanship at this time is IMHO quite poor. I am not for any moment discouraging people with hearing or eye sight impairment, that would be rude of me to say that.
However those who are shouting about the good old days, are generally the good old boys, who winge and complain about everybody else, but to put it bluntly are terrible pilots.
I will stand by those that say we all make mistakes but many seem to be comming from those with grandfather rights.
I will put my hands up and say that I have made some terrible mistakes but I only make them once... I dont go looking for excuses, I look for a remedy.
Will the NPPL bring back many of these dinosaurs.
