Geeezzzzzz, reflecting on this whole thing the last few weeks has gotten me really gun-shy about flying. I try hard to do it right... never had any "close ones" Am I the only one that's got a nagging freak factor tingling the back of my head now...... you still can pound in! Oh crap..... Do I need to ground myself tell I figure something out, am I just a skilled dodge ball junkie like all everyone else. I'm self grounding for a while, screw it. |

'JJ Sinclair[_2_ Wrote: ;782996']Bob, If the safety message is long or complicated it won't be read, understood or remembered. I think it should be short, simple and direct: +++ Don't practice rope breaks below 500 feet and only after briefing it. +++ Everybody needs to have a radio and do a com-check before every takeoff.

Flying requires at least as much vigilance as working with a loaded gun - it's just not something you can get away with doing carelessly. Once you become accustomed to the vigilance it requires, flying is a lot of fun. If you study accident reports, you will find most are really stupid. The remainder can be managed. |
