Please don't even get me started on the idiots that fly some corporate jets.

Way too many of them load up their aircraft to meet the minimum 2.4 degree climb gradient with the excuse it is "VFR" even in places like Aspen or Vail just to name a few.

Their 2.4 climb gradient is only going to get them to hit a rising terrain usually CG (cumulo granite) and the best part is they are going to see it happening!

Then there are those that go a step further by not even bothering whether it is VFR or IFR, they just load up to make the mission work and none of them bother to check their single engine performance when icing conditions prevail.

Too many amateurs are flying around.
