Gee , I guess safety is only OK when it's us RCers being forced to practice it , while GA kills & maims more in a year than we ever have or ever will ?
All the while there ARE safety devices , like the emergency chute , that are specifically designed to save lives in instances just as these ?
The whole point of this discussion is that our friend Sport Pilot IS right , general aviation IS a far greater public health menace than our RC toys are , and yet the one device that could specifically prevent many GA deaths isn't mandated . That , my friend , is the textbook example of insanity , to bemoan air deaths all the while not requiring the very technology that was designed to save some of those lives !
Horns , , Indeed !!!!
Retired ATP here, as in Airline Transport Pilot ! With over 13,000 hours free of accident or incident flight. Don't talk to me about safety, unless your as well qualified !!!
