Jose wrote in . net: But you are right, given the risk aversion that has swept and IMHO weakened this country I really surprised that driving hasn't become as regulated as flying. It's less regulated in the sense that just about anybody can get a license and drive. It's more regulated (there's a better phrase but I can't think of it) in the sense that minima are much higher. In aviation, it is legal to do things that require skill, and prudent not to if you don't have the skill. In driving, if it requires skill, it is illegal. For example, it's illegal to go seventy miles an hour, but it is perfectly legal to fly 210 feet above the ground while in clouds. Jose Why is it illegal to drive at the posted speed limit of 70 MPH? Obviously it isn't, but many parts of the country have 65 MPH as the highest posted speed limit. Matt |

For example, it's illegal to go seventy miles an hour, but it is perfectly legal to fly 210 feet above the ground while in clouds. One requires special training and certification in order to be able to legally fly 210' above the ground in clouds, however a significant number of pilots do not have this certification, and thus are not permitted to do so legally. In driving, there is no training or certification one can take in order to drive 70MPH on a 55MPH road. The limitation is for one and all. They apply the same to me as they do to Dale Earnhardt Jr. and to off-duty Police and Military personnel who indeed have had high-speed driving training. |

If flying were set to the highest standard, you wouldn't need a special rating to fly IFR. Instead, "non-IFR" would be a special restriction applied only to those pilots who had demonstrated their inability to fly IFR. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
