The very close go? Was that in a Cessna 310 where the navigation light on the wing tip was shattered with contact with a tree or bushes during a very low level mixture cut also at Camden?
Nope, not that one, but it probably proves there are some very slow learners, aren't there??
Of the 6000+ lookers, I hope somebody has been persuaded to change their ways ----
think of it as the 90:90 rule, if you stick with the FAA/UK CAA guidelines ( they manage quite well without having to "mandate" everything) ----
You can get 90% of the training value but eliminate 90% of the risk associated with the (very dubious) remaining 10%.
Tootle pip!!
