Well you have a point - I wasn't saying people that fly jets are unskilled. I was just saying that Bush flying is a totally different ball game. It's one thing flying a c172 or a pa28 VFR around the UK, with ATC and D&D etc. Out in the Bush you can be flying for hours without anyone around, and the risk of downing with no chance of help. I did my initial training from a 700m nway, 2500agl and daily temperatures of 34c and it was tough, and we didn't often go further than 50nm from the field. Yes we should all be trained to a high standard, but in the UK we don't get trained in survival techniques, fighting off wild animals and dehydration
Personally I wouldn't consider it without some major concerns, and I highly doubt I'm alone in saying that.
