Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: Ultralight pilot buzzes Statue of Liberty

Helen you always have your head on straight, I have only disagreed with you once. That thing about mountain flying was good except for the mountain wave, it can be fun, you can climb at 3000ft/minute with the engine off and my sailplane people love it.  The big thing is to stsy out of the rotor cloud at all cost.

I must totally disagree with this statement. While the pilot in
question may not have broken any rules, I know that I for one teach my
students that aviation is much more about courtesy than it is about
rules per se. He broke several rules of courtesy and continuing to do
so, is only going to reflect poorly on all of us.

There is no difference in my mind between what he did and selecting a
church on a Sunday morning as a spot to teach your students turns around
a point. It's perfectly legal but is it the right thing to do? And if
the pastor were to lodge a complaint about his sermon be drowned out by
the whine of a Rotax would it be the right thing to do to send more
people over next Sunday there to make sure he didn't get his way?

Use some common sense here guys. We have one of the best aviation
systems in the world here in the US and really are minimally regulated.
The way to keep it that way is to make sure that basic courtesy remains
and integral component of our decision making process.
