Default Instrument Check Ride - What navigation equipment can I use ?

Of course a professional crew would not make such a mistake,

short runway at Chicago, in a blizzard, or ...
Pilots are human beings, human beings make mistakes and
sometimes people die. Sometimes people die on nice clear
days.


Add ValueJet while you're at it.

Sarcasm aside, the stupid things done by airline pilots per takeoff and
landing, or whatever phase of flight, is a whole lot less than light
airplane driving. And, "G/A" is a B.S. category because that throws the
professional biz jet crew in with the ball player in New York.

Some of us have more concern about our fellow human beings.

I also have "more concern about our fellow human beings", and would not
imitate the joker you cite. However, I do not believe that absolute
safey can be legislated. Therefore, we are left with permitting "a
certain level of danger" to be visited upon "innocent passengers".

No matter where the line is drawn, it could be drawn elsewhere.
Anything can be made safer at the cost of reducing utility. I just
don't think it's a good idea.

This stuff goes on on the time in G/A. Not by everyone for sure. But, by enough folks that the hapless passengers is just rolling the dice.


GA is not unique in this, and "hapless passengers" (or the equivalent in
=any= activity) are =always= "just rolling the dice" to some degree. I
just believe that the amount of dice-rolling permitted in part 91 is
approprite.

A few share your view that it is just right. There are a lot more who
think not-for-hire is overregulated and others who say it is underregulated.

Since you think it is just right you are quite unique in your apparent
great admiration for the FAA. ;-)
