I agree with everything you say Mach E Avelli and I certainly understand inthis blame game society that everybody is out to blame somebody when somethinggoes wrong. I read a few years ago in the US that a dead pilot’s family managedto successfully sue the airframe manufacturer, the aircraft engine manufacturerand the propeller manufacturer even though the FAA determined that the accidentwas caused by pilot error. I just feel that fees in NZ are much higher thanelsewhere and a few years ago they weren't. The current fees have massivelyexceeded the rate of inflation, is this because NZ is so small? I love GA anddon't want to see it killed off by greed.
