    The problem is that the OEM program may require a higher level of training, it still doesn’t ensure operating at a higher level of safety. I see guys who pass checkrides every six months or year, but it takes 3 days of training to get up to standard on the things they don’t do in between, like...

    So again, in the context of the scenario presented and examples therein, who decides what constitutes mountainous terrain that needs specific training, and what that training looks like, and whether that training is or isn’t specific to category, class, STOL capability, or any number of other...

    Part of the problem is that the goal would be to conform to a more limiting view of what’s considered “safe,” “acceptable,” or “good risk” that is probably based on an “average pilot” that doesn’t exist, and has nothing to do with real proficiency or exercising good judgment. Insurance is about...

    …and when no one’s looking, you substitute a bottle for the card, and change the whole complexion of the game? ;) For the record, I like your exercise.
