But my point is, if there's a thousand incursions a year, what
does that say about the effectiveness and usefulness of the
ADIZ? My opinion is that it proves it's uselessness.
I find it hard to imagine that there are really 1000 incursions every
year.
But if there really are that many, I'm afraid this says volumes more
about the caliber of our pilots than it does about the utility of an
ADIZ.
My thought is that it says more about making rules that are so difficult
to follow. Keep in mind that these incursions are from all kinds of pilots
flying all kinds of aircraft. They aren't just from GA. I would think that
it would be reason to reflect on the value of a rule that results in so
many infractions and has proven time and again that it is incapable of
providing the intended "protection". That such reconsideration has so far
eluded them speaks volumes about the caliber of our rule makers.
