    3 ways to look at it 1. it surprises me any phrase can be registered as a trademark - if my life style gives me the freedom to fly then ............. 2. RAA hijacked it 3. RAA registered it cause AOPA was n't bothered too. At least either organisation has it registered - so no one else can hijack it - RAA can lease it to AOPA for 10 cents per year if they like

    I've heard of 2 experienced ag pilots that lined up a DHC2 beaver for takeoff ................ after heavy maintenance ailerons worked perfectly ..................... but rigged in reverse sense engineers and pilots never tweaked plane was rolled up in a ball just after takeoff - 1 pilot OK - 1 pilot lucky to survive

    This quote is from the ^cockpit safety advice^ part .......... cynics could ridicule this statement ........ how could a medical determine if a pilot in that position, discover they wanted to commit cockpit hari kari ? Surely any person scheming such a thing would disguise that idea ?

    the safety system would not be a person pushing a button to save the lives of the joy riders I'm curious to know what the overall design safety system was supposed to be - there would have to be that basic overall fundamental thing ................ would n't there be ?
