Default Common instruments on small aircraft

The walk to the Louvre from the museum's parking lot is extremely
short.


But what if the weather is bad or there is low visibility?

Seriously, though. I can't walk to any museums from my house. Yet I find
walking to be a valid mode of transportation.

That does seem to be a useful range for GA. Of course, it doesn't
come remotely close to justifying GA for transportation, but if one
already has a license and an aircraft, why not?


It justifies it for me. I can't speak for the rest of the world.

But when you make a claim with anti-GA undercurrents that is
based on opinions that have been founded in something other than
fact, you can expect me to respond harshly, and I would consider
that quite on topic.


Looking at general aviation objectively, it's extremely difficult to
see any real transportation value to it, except for certain specific
circumstances (heavy, short-range business travel, and some other
purposes).


I don't believe either of us are looking at it objectively. But it serves my
purposes quite well, and I appreciate the value that it offers me.

Just because it doesn't present value for you doesn't mean it has no value.
Evidence would suggest that GA presents value to some number of people in the
world, because there are many people, both pilots and otherwise, that use
General Aviation as a form of transportation. If there is no value in it,
they wouldn't use it.
