What's the difference between a pre-flight and a Daily?
Band a Lot,
I trust those who need to know, actually do! In a court/AAT, the difference is not trivial --- as people I know have found out to their great cost.
Indeed, the difference is a favorite of CASA counsel setting out to prove a defendant or witness is incompetent, and any other testimony should be considered in light of an incompetent answer to the above question.
As to the rest of the thread, I guess we will just have to accept that years of attempted education has failed, that fact just bounces off devout beliefs (obviously not limited to aviation) and there will undoubtedly continue to be avoidable accidents, as a result.
Tootle pip!!
