T28D, while I can appreciate where you are coming from I believe this is an RA Aus matter. I am not saying it is their fault but they will certainly be part of the solution.
I know we don't see all the accidents reported. However we have had at least two events reported, and in a reasonably high profile manner.... both involving innocent children.
Mr F Wheel and then our boat buzzing chump.... both with questions hanging over licences and registrations.
This appears to me, at this stage at least, to be yet another. This time a child injured in a crash with possibly an unlicenced pilot in a unregistered machine.
The media will pick up on this one. CASA will be forced to react, naturally.
It is Friday afternoon.... if I had a microlight I would be flying this afternoon. Anything could happen this afternoon.
These guys are not doing anyone any favours. All have lost machines and they were probably not in accidents per se.
I am sure their actions have brought the whole fraternity under closer scrutiny. Most of us will not enjoy that.
