fly_tornado Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 how does this sound: a hot shot RAA pilot tries a low fly-by at a well know RAA fly-in and clips the ground the aircraft fireballs into a group of spectators. The subsequent ATSB investigation finds that the pilot was well known for his antics, he even went as far as uploading video onto youtube. That video was posted on a internet forum frequented by RAA pilots, representatives and staff. One of the widows sues. A GPS logger would act as a deterrent, even if it didn't record every flight its presence would still make people think twice about doing stuff outside the RAA regs. 1

David Isaac Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 ...... The subsequent ATSB investigation finds that the pilot was well known for his antics, he even went as far as uploading video onto youtube. That video was posted on a internet forum frequented by RAA pilots, representatives and staff. ... There is your answer "...the pilot was well known for his antics, he even went as far as uploading video onto youtube....". So why did no one report him ... I would argue that by those to whom his antics were 'well known' not reporting him, they were complicit in enabling his activities ... Who is going to pay for all this GPS logging? And do you really think if they are that bad in behaviour they wouldn't figure a way of disabling it when they they were in 'antic' mode?
ahlocks Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 is this thread still about a crash in hume dam? Good point.
