Yeah... Don't think that any of his victims were armed, were they? Grace
also has a CHL... It's not like she's going to leave her handgun in her car,
right?

So how do you determine if they are competent?

Fly with 'em? snicker

Hell, if I think that I can fly their aircraft, they're probably competent
enough for me... Assuming that I saw them land and it was acceptable...

I had it happen earlier this year, for the first time, ever, and it felt,
well, weird.

I think I did the right thing, but it's hard to say. That funny little
voice in my head just kept saying "stay on the ground..." -- so I did.

Never heard that voice before.

Yes I have and he was a CFI, I ended up telling to get out of the
airplane and that I would not fly with him. I also reported him to his CP.

Bob,

No, but it shows much of the training for a PP-ASEL is
meaningless.


You might wanna add "most of the time". Which doesn't mean one can omit
it completely - quite the contrary. Hence the serious limitations on
what you can do with a Sport license.

Whoa. What did he do?

This could be the start of an interesting thread.

What would YOU eliminate from the Private Pilot training curriculum?

Just off the top of my head I can think of half a dozen stupid, pointless
things I was forced to puke back on the written that I've never, ever used
again...

Yes, and I was thinking that during this discussion, too ... although he
may have been a well-dressed, "upwardly mobile professional", he drove a
VW bug.

He didn't have the car hotwiring skills that a couple other serial killers
did.

Still, he had a lot of people fooled by his "professional"
outward appearance.

And he was often referred to as having a rather "charming" personality.

Are you talking about flight training, or High School? :~

Didn't he kill some of his victims on a college campus? Well, a college
campus is a "Gun Free Zone".

Quite, but we need a "Relevancy Check" right about now!

Which simply shows that a medical (esp. a 3rd class for hobby flying)
is meaningless and should be eliminated.

Maybe for that one guy.
