Home Slamming Down Under; Drone Slamming in AZ

First article covers small plane that SLAMMED into a house in Austriala.
Second covers drone that SLAMMED into a hillside near some homes. Seems
that slamming is spreading to other countries and newer forms of aviation.
Should be really interesting when the VLJs get in on the action!

Ugh. With that last comment you have once again shown your complete
ignorance of aviation. You need to better educate yourself before
posting such stupidity. Are we wrong to expect more from you than just
ill-informed drivel?

BTW, where exactly is "Austriala"?

Ah, jump on a typo... ok.

VLJs: FAA plan is to put thousands of these into the air, and mix them in
with the old GA fleet. Then, sprinkle in a bunch of basically untrained
LSA pilots. (Read an article in GA news that a company is offering a
program to get an LSA license in a week. Damn: that's less time than it
takes to learn to drive a car!!!)

I'm wondering, since some pilots are so concerned about mid-airs, whether
home slammings occur with greater frequency.

But, given your criticisms, I contacted an expert: Bill Mulcahy.

He agrees with me: slammings will become more frequent as more planes
flown by GA pilots are pushed into the air by the FAA.

Nope. I've seen people get a license the day after getting a learner's
permit.

Not the FAA plan. Never was the FAA plan.

I'll bet they are highly skilled drivers, then.

As you know, Steve, Massachusetts, one of the many nanny states, is
debating RESTRICTING licenses to young, inexperienced drivers. FAA/AOPA
cabal on the other hand wants EVERYONE INTO THE AIR!!

Step right up, and get your LSA license!

I'll take your word for it. But notice I said "learn to drive.," not "get
a driver's license."

What you are saying is that it is legal to get a driver's license without
having learned to drive. Just like the FAA: get a PPL and fly 2x per
year. All perfectly legal!! Cool.

(A friend is flying his Cessna from ISP this weekend. I asked him to let
me know when he will be near my house, so that I can be sure I am in the
basement with fire extinguisher and first aid supplies at the ready!)

Actually, LSA pilots can fly twin jets. Look up "Cri cri".

Planes aren't pushed into the air by the FAA. They're pushed into the air by
money.
