Never even played a lawyer on TV, but wasn't the court decision about
assigning liability and not about operations?Â* I read the court decision
end to end and, though deep inside I agree that the pilot of the Baron
screwed the pooch, the logic in the court's finding seemed sound to me.

Too bad that it happened at all...

It's so 'normally human' to wish for pat and neat resolutions to
tragedies like this...both within the piloting community and within
the legal community and within the far larger community who honestly
hope in general to see 'perpetrators held accountable.' I'm no lawyer,
but definitely inhabit the other two categories.

Focusing responsibility on CAP/'the glider operation at the field'
seems to me - from my geographically-distant perspective - simplistic
in the extreme. Life/reality is more complicated...
