Kolb people C
The following quote is from the newspaper article regarding the NH women's second ultralight flight:
"According to official FAA regulations C no pilot license is required to operate an ultralight plane."
Remains of an ultralight plane rest where it crashed against a house on Harvest Road in Windham C N.H. (Sun/Jon Hill) Many non-pilots and some people read that last sentence to say "According to the FAA C no pilot license AND TRAINING is required to operate an ultralight.
Having crashed an ultralight myself C because I ASSUMED "some" Cessna pilot training from years ealier was good enough C I feel qualified enough to say that she C as was I C is a moron.
I'm not exactly sure why some of us think proper flight instruction isn't necessary C just because the airplane is small. I hope she learned her lesson. I know I learned mine! I
hope others that who read this C and tried to fly their own plane and crashed C have learned also. Can you fly an ultralight C without training C and live? Yes C some have. I know one guy who did. (He eventually stalled C crashed C broke his ankle C and totalled the plane at Cd'A C ID) But C is it worth the risk of smashing your plane C and broken bones and possibly worse? Not to me C anymore!!
I plan on proper flight instruction before taking all my hard work into the air. Just my thoughts on the matter.......
