Interesting couple of posts Andre, do you really love flying?
There is no question about that. But, as an adult, with children etc, I also have a responsibility to be sensible. That's all this post is about. Does a love of flying preclude a proper assessment of the risks involved ?

Allow me to clarify a little more. I have family members who are commercial pilots. Their judgement on LSA and microlights in particular are fairly credible, as they have more hours than many of us combined. Both these family members have said that LSA and microlights get blown around way too much, and are particularly prone to LOC on finals, and RLOC. But hey, why would I listen to them, I love flying, right ?
