Plain and simple 'we don't' need a 'C' once we have a 'C' then they will want a 'D'..... This was supposed to be a hobby for fun. We have enough regulation in every day life as it is and you know about that
You know as well as I do the high standard of flying at our Classic Jet meets and all 'B' holders!
Certain people just want to make Jets out to be a special case and some clubs will just use this as an excuse to ban people flying jets.
Also the BMFA achievement scheme was introduced as a way of getting ones flying to a higher level but certain club/people are misinterpreting the original idea and using simply as a test!
Take some average club members that hold a 'B' certificate and flying your average everyday aircraft. Some of these 'pilots' are just down right dangerous in the way they fly, also some of them passed their 'B' years ago! Some could well do with retaking them, wonder how many would pass it again?
