Sorry, I can't see what all the fuss is about. There aren't many recreational or sporting persists where you don,t get "ramp checked" these days. Take boating for instance, many a time I have been ramp (launching) checked by water police - life vests, epirb, flares, radio etc. No big deal if you are doing the right and safe thing. Recreational aviation is no different

 

 

I think ego also starts to creep into it as some consider being certified in a trike is not real flying Nor as demanding as piloting a 3 axis machine.

 

I know a CFI who in the last 6 months has trained and signed off a Qantas pilot and a UAE captain in trikes. Both said they wanted to get back to some real flying.

 

 

The ABC report seems to have a few details in it, surely they did some research before reporting.

No problem with the brief ABC report in this thread, it was the untrue and misleading statements from the posts on PPRUNE that I refer to.

 

 

I notice that the perpetrator of this inaccurate, erroneous and biased report on PPRUNE joined this site on Monday.

 

No profile and as much anonymity as possible. It would be good to see them come forward and declare what agenda they are running in posting this misleading and defamatory report.
