Insurance excess

[Red]

[spacesailor]

The new students,  will have to do what the wealthy have always done !.

Divest all personal assets .  So they can become ' bankrupt ' .

Then they  can pay  ' five cents on the dollar  ' .

Like one of my grandsons !, owns nothing , lives at his parents  ,

And can't be bothered to sign on the dole . 

He has his trade certificate,  but was threatened with court action when his

Labourer dropped something, causing damage somewhere. 

Never worked a day since .

what could they get out of him .

The test for that is "How would it be IF everyone did it?  Nev

[spacesailor]

Those expensive lawyers , will be trading in their Bently sports cars for Toyota's. 

That will drop the price of their insurance. 

Novared lease companies will.  Drop their car values too .

Any way we can lock this thread ?

 

Not going anywhere and not producing any useful information.

IF we start doing that we might have a lot of locked threads. Nev

But I just refilled my popcorn

I have had a further thought or two about the word Command.

 

In General

It is possible to be In Command of a vessel/aircraft/ machine however you can not Command (verb) a non sentient object ie you can not Command a machine, your utterances will have no disenable effect.

Command infers authority to control humans or other beings eg a working dog, by the use of words (verbal or writen).

 

In Aviation

A Pilot In Command (PIC) implies a great deal more than mechanical control (as in manipulate the machine so as to achieve flight). The PIC has legal standing & responsibility, must by convention & I suggest, law, be licenced ie not a student .

It is tempting to think of a solo (unlicensed/student) pilot as PIC, as they are the only person on board, so must if circumstances (safety of aircraft) dictate, make authoritative decisions. However this is to ignore the role of the students Instructor, who is in fact the only Commander (PIC) in this relationship/situation. Note; The Instructor need not be in the aircraft to maintain this relationship. By law & convention, there can not be two PICs for the same aircraft/time, ergo the student can never be PIC. 

 

CASA/RAA/FAAA and any other authority that uses the words Pilot In Command for an unlicensed pilot, are simple incorrect, inconsistent with other aviation rules, regulations & custom. Their intentions may be known/understood, even supported however the terminology does not accurately reflect the situation,  that the student is under the Command of the Instructor.

 

Just because a bureaucracy (staffed by fallible humans) draws up a regulation, this does not mean it is necessarily worded well (grey areas), correct (wrong) or consistent with (supports/contradicts) other regulations.

 

Those who blindly refer to/quote the regulations, without critical thought, undermine democracy and ultimately the rule of law.😈

So! In short you cant fault the logic of my statement, exploring the logic or lack of, in the current practise,  PIC & student. Is that what the tennis people call Game Set & Match?  

 

On the RAA - did you not see where I wrote of my conversation , on this matter, with no less than two RAA officials - not so supportive of your wild assertions.😈
