Turbine pilots have a "Jet Waiver" that takes them months to prove they are capible of hadling a turbine. Why can't we do the same thing ... a "3D Waiver"? We would have to prove to the AMA that we are able to perform "ground touchs" in a controled manner then we would be given "permission" to do so as a trained "3D Pilot".

Just because a jet pilot has a waiver does not mean he is less likely to have a major mishap but he knows the proper protocal to follow and is trained to do so. Same could be said for a 3D pilot with a "Ground Touch Waiver".

Just food for thought.
