City controlled airspace?

No, because anyone can make a mistake. It just eliminates the possibility of
some idot like you from teaching himself to fly on MSFS, and then getting
into a real aircraft and killing innocent people because he had no grasp on
his own limitations.

I'm certain that I would be a safer pilot even without a license than some of
the licensed pilots I've encountered. The validity of licensing as a tool for
identifying persons competent in a particularly domain is often exaggerated by
orders of magnitude, and aviation is no exception.

No, actually you just proved my point. You have never had you hands on
anything that flys, yet you state emphaticly that you are certain. Idots
like you are the best possible example of why the licensing process is so
vital to everyone's safety.

Yes.

It's not as vital as it appears. How many pilots fly without a license, or
without a medical?

Exactly, your ignorance and arrogance proves the point. Thank you.

What' sit matter to you? You couldn't fly even if you had one. You
couldn't fly if you had a brasss badge riveted to your ass saying you
were Orville Fjukking Wright.

Pilots flying without a license, this one is easy: none of them (ok,
some might be picky and point out that folks flying with a certificate
issued under 14 CFR 61.75 do indeed need a license in addition to their
certificate, if their country of origin issues one).

as for folks flying without a medical; well, you have all the glider
pilots to boot, and they have been doing that for a long time, no
problem; and pilots with sport pilot certificates. (I don't know about
ultralights pilots but I reckon they don't need one either); To that lot,
you can also add a number of instructors, since a valid medical is not
required to instruct a student who is already certificated.

Ah, what? There's quite a few people out there with no ratings at all
flying airplanes. I know one guy near me with a pretty nice Ercoupe.

And the regular pilots who simply choose not to participate in the
system anymore but fly anyways.

Actually, I meant how many pilots are flying illegally (because they lack a
valid license or a current medical, for example)?

Well, not you, even though you don't have a licence, you don't fly!

An airman certificate is a license.
