It always seemed to me that after the dear old Pilot's Notes expanded from the small paperback format into the hard covered ring bound jobbie and then burgeoned into the heavyweight ACM that someone, somewhere in the bureaucracy was bullet proofing their own rear end, and sod the airframe driver and his crew. I also wondered whether or not lawyers had an input into the resultant screed. Do I hold a jaundiced impression of the whole shooting match? Yes, I freely admit.
