Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group IFR Training and IFR Rating for Sport Pilots

Rule 1:  It's illegal to kill ducks out of season or without an appropriate license and duck stamp.   

Rule 2:  NEVER LAND A COMMERCIAL AIRLINER WITHOUT FLOATS, FULL OF PASSENGERS ON A RIVER WITHOUT THEIR WRITTEN APPROVAL.  

Rule 3:  He busted his own flight plan.

Rule 4:  I'm sure there were many maritime rules, regulations and laws and codes that were busted.

 

I'm not Sully was wrong in any shape or form. He was exactly right. He is my hero for being able to ignore the danged rules and do what he had to do which if "FLY THE PLANE AT ALL COSTS, IGNORE THE RULES and pay the fine later".

 

The fellow that hit the power lines in the LSA broke the rules but still crashed. He should have broke the rules and landed safely. 

What rules did he break? It's illegal to hit power lines and/or disrupt power . . yahta yahta . . .

 

Must we go on . . .?

 

I think you folks are being way over sensitive to rules. Anytime one has an emergency, all rules become invalid and survival becomes paramount. 

 

OK these are just my rules, you guys should follow the rules to keep the rest of us safe from you. LOL

61.65 first paragraph says Private Pilot is minimum rating.  Knowledge of an IFR rating, absolutely.  Just can't take the checkride.

 

What rule did Sully break?  I don't know of any?  What are you referring to?

What would prevent any Sport Pilot from gaining a IFR Rating or the knowledge of an IFR rating?  Yes that would certainly help anyone. I don't see anything preventing a person from doing that if he has the money, the time, and the ability. Does anyone know something I don't know here? There is no one keeping me from doing it that I know of. I myself have IFR knowledge just in case although I prefer nice sunny days. One does not need to be certified to have knowledge and certainly certification shouldn't limit one either from using that knowledge. I'm always amazed at how certain people can always be so rule bound. It's good Sully wasn't.
