The CAA will do what they can, but are constrained the way everyone else is. Those that deliberately flout the rules can only be brought to book if the government puts the resources in to do so, &...

Ok, I appreciate we're in the world of "what ifs..?" - but I'm not clear on how the payment aspect can exist in isolation, without being motivational; & so without increasing the commercial pressure,...

Indeed - the pressure to get to destination due to letting family down, even though the flying circumstances have changed, perhaps not dissimilar to the situation Ibbotson found himself in. JFK jnr...

Ah, OK now I think I'm with you: in that instance, I agree, it probably isn't dangerous for those two flights in isolation. But perhaps if we remove the IR element, both might be considered...

I did thanks, & no offence taken, but nowhere have I said your view is in support of grey charters. My point relates to the risks of private vs commercial. If I've understood you correctly, your...

I don't think the data supports your view: objectively, the measure of risk is surely the accident rate per number of flights: this is just one article, but it quotes Eurostat data on fatalities,...

I struggle with the concept a bit: if there are, for example, PA-32Rs on the UK register anyway what's the point of not transferring a US aircraft across when it gets here? Is it purely the cost of...

Chris VJ - you're talking about something different to this accident, & to a certain extent, it's a red herring. The pilot in this aircraft is reported as having approximately 3500 hours total time,...

I doubt it: the accident report lists a number of failings on the part of the pilot, notwithstanding the difficulties with the aircraft. Whilst he's sadly unable to mount a personal defence of his...
