An average of 12 hours per year over the last five years? And he thought it sensible to display a high performance jet at low level? Whilst it is undoubtably tragic that he lost his life it is all to easy to dance round the obvious. It Is a huge failing of supervision that this was ever allowed to happen but it ultimately rests on the individual. Just how many of these "professional" pilots are trying their luck every week? It is simply not acceptable to say that it was a fault of the system. This pilot should have stopped himself from ever getting airborne never mind relying on the "system" to protect them.
