In fact, there IS NO requirement to fly a minimum number hours, you idiot, and MANY don't fly any at all. What is required of OZ private pilots (as opposed to commercial and airline pilots) is a biannual proficiency check.

I'm just reporting what I remember of our conversations on the subject. He also kept a collection of newspaper clippings about private pilots who had ended up dead after flight accidents. There were quite a few of them.

> So the average private pilot is more likely to die in a car crash than a plane crash? It's possible - people spend a lot more time driving that flying - but since you don't point to any statistics on the subject it is likely that that you are ventilating one more of your idiot delusions.
Your delusions are rampant on SED, particularly here.

It did look a bit like the control panel for the counter-current continuous digestor at the paper mill where my father was research manager at the time (where he'd introduced computer control, but all the sensed parameters were still shown on dials, and the occasional chart recorder).
You couldn't tell the difference between a control yoke and a flap handle, but you THINK you are an aviation expert - GO FIGURE!

The ONLY thing you "feign" is a glimmer of intelligence.

They are stupid because they ARE STUPID!
