Or just fine him and tell him not to do it again.

Mind your own business, will you …

To me it seems similar to arguing that driver education is a more useful solution than installing multiple air bags and seat belts - why not have both ?

It is frankly odd that Van does not offer BRS as an option since this is the type of technology that is best tested and incorporated at the design ( factory) level rather than being retrofitted by individual builders in an ad hoc manner. It was designed exactly for situations like the one you...

I am not sure if this is comparing apples to apples - we would have to know how many of these accidents are plane vs pilot related given that most EABs are basically hot-rod planes, at least as compared to a 172 …

I still think making every landing power off landing ( plane and conditions permitting and within reasonable limits- I usually go idle before turning base ) will leave you better prepared than making a habit of relying on power all the way until you are 3 feet over the runway.

I don’t know .. South Korea GDP per capita is higher than that of Canada or UK - not exactly a third world country…

Yes, I do the same, sorting and storing them by type etc but I do not count them. Btw.. I am building this plane - https://www.flyinglegendusa.com/ and various kits come with custom parts from Italy followed by a box from Aircraft Spruce containing all the hardware that the factory ordered for...

I actually do not bother inventorying common items like AN bolts , nut-plates, rivets and similar items. I have Aircraft Spruce location 10 minutes away and they have all of that and more ( and cost is not a factor either - missing a few AN bolts will cost me a few dollars ) Obviously , do...

I would rather brave ~20 minutes on the ground without AC than have to strap myself into yet another contraption …

Simple, it either you who pays for it or somebody else covers your costs ( or is forced to do so ) - there are no other alternatives but frankly this has nothing to do with the value of things … a plane is worth only as much as somebody is willing to pay for it and if I am unwilling to sell it...

I think what they are trying to solve is the ever growing per capita spending on the federal level. Unless this growth is somehow arrested, at some point we will, as Thatcher used to put , “run out of other people’s money” …

By definition , if a company sells for X then it is not undervalued but it is worth exactly X- at least at the moment. There is no intrinsic value to any goods or services , they are always only worth as much as somebody is willing to pay for it.

One solutions is to simply maintain some kind of credit system where entities that return money back , get credited with that amount and then that “virtual” credit is used to prioritize any future requests for additional funds .

When your engine goes out and you need to put it down, knowing how to manage your glide and land it at the slowest possible speed without a stall is the main benefit of being proficient at a slow flight.
