I said "HIS accident report blamed the airfield......!"
He needs his head examined, blaming a lack of navaids etc for a bodged DIY instrument approach. If he designed the DIY IAP properly he would have been fine.
Flying will in part attract pilots with strong personalities. After all private pilots are often financially successful people that are well motivated (note the use of often, not always).
That is highly accurate.
IMHO the explanation is that flying involves so much crap (on the ground, mainly) that only the strongest motivated people (or perhaps the wierdest anoraks) will hang in it for long.
Even looking at it most charitably, those flying seriously long-term will be people who are successful in their business or profession, and these tend to be reasonably competent and thus forthright in their views
