I`m a bit confused here masterplanner...at the top of the article it says that 900 hours is the maximum legally permitted, but further on down it says that the 900 hours is a recommendation by the IAA and European safety inspectors...
I`m pretty sure it is inteded to mean "legally permitted", but can you clarify this for me?To me it kinda sounds like "max demonstrated crosswind" - which is not a limitation, but how smart are you to exceed it?
The pilot was "forced" to fly more than the permitted/recommended 900 hours?why didn`t the pilot notify the company that he/she was approaching the 900 hours and possibly would exceed this?Not trying to enforce either of the parties here, but as a pilot you do have a certain responsibility when it comes to maximum tolerances.HAs to do with safety.
Knows, I totally agree with you on what is dangerous.I`d like to add to your list with "a stupid pilot".But I guess that`s a prerequisite to get on your list
