Andy,


While I’ve been critical of AMA, I’m genuinely encouraged that you’re looking into this.


Regardless of who’s flying, it sure looks like it’s being done from a club field. So either the club is allowing waiver holders to fly in such a way, or they’re allowing non-waiver holders to fly. Either points to a serious safety culture problem. Think back to your squadron days and imagine what wuld happen if AIRPAC saw video of one its squadrons flaunting the rules like this. There’s issues not just with the pilot doing it, but also with all those who knew it was wrong and tolerated it.


If things are as tenuous as alluded to in the last EC minutes, I really hope you’re able to track down the folks involved. It would be an excellent opportunity to send a clear signal.
