Frank the prescient...
Oh God, yes, oh yes Frank you're onto something there.
Those "meat bombers" are soooo dangerous. Something must be done to keep the world safe from falling aeroplanes ,,( as well as bodies)
And that's not all... Skydiving businesses make big bucks... oh how awful Commerce Its part of GA too...stop it at once.
COMMERCE !!!.. go and wash yr mouth out ...we cant have that. !!
And... AND they even employ PPLs as pilots..sounds very unsafe and dodgy to me. And they even get paid ( sometimes) sounds dodgy AND illegal to me.
Were you aware that a Charter operator that flies boxes of crabs down from the Cape has to have a COMMERCIAL Licence and Skydive operators carrying real live people only have to have a PPL.? (Im quoting from a letter in the Cairns Post years ago by some CAsA tosser. Who made the rules again???)
Its shockingly unsafe and has been for decades, especially when there are drop zones near airfields. And airliners too. And cars on the road. Could be even helicopters in the vicinity Or Sailplanes and Tow planes..and they dont have CPLs either. This smacks of aviation getting out of control.
It ALL must be stopped.
