Prior to this accident we had been discussing changing our rules to
prohibit 2 kids from the same family to fly in the same plane.

We should all look at this. Loss to the family, liability - let's split
them up - everyone wins!


Knowing what I know as a certificated pilot, I would be very reluctant
to permit my child(ren) to fly with an unknown pilot. However, I would
much rather have my child(ren) in a single-engine airplane with a
competent pilot than in a car on the highway. There is no doubt in my
mind that there is much less risk in the former than in the latter. If
the competence and proficiency of the pilot is not known, then the risk
is considerably higher.
