Perhaps the real issue here is we cant really agree amongst ourselves what changes are needed (if any), although I detect some good support for a revised PPL IR, and even if we could, we don’t think our views will be taken seriously, so we are not prepared to do anything about it. In short, we have no united point of view to put forward, and so despite GA being a huge part of the aviation industry, changes will continue to be made like the introduction of mode S, reduced frequency spacing, more TMAs., etc all of which will impact on us. Am I too cynical?
I think this is one on which the Americans have got it absolutely right; GA is strongly represented and, on the whole, speaks with one voice.
I suppose it is out with the black paint. N - - - - -
