More Plane Than Sense

Do Cirrus pilots have a safety problem? – Golf Hotel Whiskey.

A good article about how Cirrus pilots think that just because they are rich enough to afford the best plane on the market, in their opinion, that makes them great pilots.  I think part of the problem is student pilots these days go to flight schools with brand new aircraft, have young clean cut instructors in shiny uniforms and only fly in good weather.  They never run into any real problems during training and are totally unprepared when it happens out in the real world.  The sky doesn’t care how much money you have in the bank or how beautiful your wife is, only how good a pilot you are.
