  1. That said the attitude of the pilot is always a factor and as I understand it he was advised not to fly in such poor conditions but ignored the advice this is what no one seems to be bothered about . whats happened to personal resposibility. this person would more than likely have done the same thing regardless of the experience he had behind him. another thing is the aircraft. you can do more involved training to obtain an rpl and might never fly anything other than a c152 or 172. in raaus you can fly lightweight slippery fast aircraft the will get you into trouble quicker than a lumbering old cessna so maybe our training needs to reflect the performance of these modern airframes. they are not draggy ultralight aircraft any more.
