Again, a total lack of understanding.
Do you know what a Mk7 pilot is?
A Mk7 pilot of the crash era is a Mk5/6 pilot that pissed off the appointer and has to spend a tour in purgatory bagging before being allowed to escape. From the pilots perspective it's just a pinger with the fun/interesting stuff and somebody to chat to removed.
Mk7 pilots might come from a Mk2 (if they had really pissed off the appointer!)but more likely from a mk5/6
I know what a HISL is. I have flown Seakings with them and without them. I don't need a trial to know what they do and how they work. They are a flashing light.
Empires can get out of hand, and safety and airworthiness is just such an empire.
