GASCo Safety Events in the UK
On other threads, a terrifying lack of safety knowledge has recently surfaced (downwind turns, unpublished letdowns, and descent below MSA are 3 examples). From other comments elsewhere it is also very clear that many UK based pilots do not understand a wide range of emerging (and existing) regulations which have safety implications, for example: airspace, licensing, medicals, etc etc. I have made a point of encouraging attendance at GASCo "safety evening events" - which happen over the winter months - and offer the thought to all UK pilots that these events are very worthwhile as a means of gaining knowledge from "experts". At "my" Flying School we are giving discounts to our members who have a GASCo stamp in their logbook. Is safety for private pilots, particularly private owners, being managed as well as it could be?
