GENERALLY AGREE
Bill
I'm in general agreement with what you have posted above, and yes I cannot get shot for not providing the data.
The point is was trying to make is that it HAS been mandatory in the FM for years, it IS the cause of accidents, CASA recognise this in the way they set their exams for PPL/CPL, yet this organisation allegedly creating "safe skies for all" has allowed their commercial imperative of getting out of FMs to allow the baby to be thrown out with the bathwater.
Technically, I do not need the T/O&LDG or W&B data to be available for my C172. They remove a guys licence for an expired medical but they themselves have removed by legislation documentation significant to flying safely.
Anyway, outside all this, may the force be with the new Board this weekend.
