Should a newbie pilot with a green licence inform his passenger that he is new and inexperienced before taking that passenger for a flight thus giving them the chance not to take the flight.
Yeah I think they should.

What you do with your own life is one thing what you do with others is another matter?
You mentioned flying passengers in bad weather, but a more obvious risk to others is if you crash on someone's house. Aeromexico 498 and a PA-28 spring to mind.

Would we all still fly for fun if it was completely safe though?

Something that irritates me with modern cars is the stupid blind spots where the front pillars are made so large and so far in front of you that it's almost impossible to see around corners. They then stick in a 3 foot deep dash board and pretend that makes the car safer. They also stick in power assisted everything to take every last ounce of enjoyment out of driving. I'm glad this hasn't happened in the design of GA aircraft yet!


What a bunch of candyasses...
@ Subsonicsubic. So you have such a blase attitude to safety but you find the word arse offensive?
