Pilot claims no blame in July crash

That is required now in the DC area to fly to/from the DC3
airports, you need a security clearance from DHS. We need
more "big brother" for "security" so let's require a call to
the local police before anyone leaves their house or place
of business for any movement in a public place or near a
public road or airport.
The required info MUST include names, DOB, SSN, DL #, car
tag, description of clothes, type of vehicle if used[ to
include tag number, color, mileage and how much gas is in
the tank]. All passengers must be identified my name, SSN
and age with a description].

This will make the world safe, kidnapping children will be
more difficult, bank robbers will be easily caught. If they
also cross-reference medical records, car accident victims
can get better treatment since the first responders can have
the medical history and blood types for everybody. DNA
samples will allow positive ID for fatal accidents and also
allow immediate ID for criminals.

And of course, all IPC would become required every six
months, at your expense. They would have to be certified
and reported to the FAA. The FAA is months behind issuing
medical certificates and such, let's increase the work-load,
after all, who can be against SAFETY.

Be Franklin was quoted as saying, "We have given you a
republic, if you can keep it." and "Those who would
sacrifice freedom for security will have neither."

European and UK rules may be different, in the USA, the name
on an IFR flight plan as PIC must be a current IFR rated
pilot.


"Must be" and "is" are not necessarily the same; there is no cross-check at
the time the flight plan is filed.

I suspect a lot of pilots have filed and flown IFR flight plans with
little more than some IR training. This may be another such case.

Evidence? Reasoning?

What part of the word "suspect" don't you comprehend?

Your question begging definition skills precede you. What do you mean by
"a lot"?

Several.

Or "some IR training"?

Anywhere from a few hours up to "many, but never passed the final tests".

We had a doctor in town who practiced for several years before someone found
out he'd had nothing more than basic medical training.

Aside from that, my evidence is NTSB reports I've read and that about one
driver in ten on the roads do not have valid drivers licenses; which is
more likely to get caught, driver or pilot.

Driver. But flying approaches in IMC with "little more than some IR
training" would likely result in lots of accidents. And I don't see any
evidence of this.

Dig deeper.

(Departure or enroute IMC with an assured VMC destination would be less
problematic. Pray that a diversion isn't needed.)

Yes...but not the point.

Even if there were a cross-check that a pilot holds an instrument
rating, there's no practical way to cross-check whether the pilot is
instrument current.

Quite, and that's quite prevalent in accident reports.

No check is made unless there is an incident or accident.
But to be legal...

You must nave really gotten cranked up when you heard about the airline
pilot that had no pilot certificate of any kind,
