Does AOPA or any other organistaion have a 'standard letter', with all the salient points about USA reforms, survey findings, and even some of the very good points discussed here, in regard to the effectiveness of Class 2 medicals on reducing actual Private flying incapacitation related deaths.
Many may not want to try and pen their own letter, but prefer a well written, factual letter showing positive arguments, and factual surveys about self assessments for PPLs.
Then everyone should print it out and send a copy to the Casa survey and the Minister of Transport (or whoever should receive it).
I'm sure they would receive more than 100 replies then. In fact every PPL and every CPL/ATPL should send a copy in, as you never know when you may be grounded for even PPL flying, should some issue arise when you get older. (and avoid a series of expensive 'Specialists' tests at every PPL renewal). I have heard of it happening.
In fact, check the 'For Sale' adverts and there are always a few aircraft for sale because of 'Loss of medical', obviously the cost of trying to prove to Casa you can fly a RV6 privately is too costly to continue on each renewal.
Id like to send one in.
I am all for a vibrant, inexpensive (as possible) Private Pilot GA Flying scene in Aus.
