Which takes us back to the report just published and for which there is a thread on this forum that has just started.
As I have said many times before I am told that the in addition to the usual conseqeunces outlined here for CAT transgressions, on the whole re-education is left to the airlines, as it also is with the military who will dictate additional sim training in the cases that justify.
It would seem this all started because GA's own instructors arent trusted to deliver the course.
Which is why I have also said that the best resolution for GA would aslo be in house - with local instructors (specifically qualified for infringment training if needs must), rather than a GASCo course.
Why?
The instructor knows the airspace around them, they know the gotchas, most pilots dont go far, and it is often in their home patch the infringments occur,
The course would involve some flying were the required skills can best be taught and demonstrated,
The flight could also count as a revalidation flight so there is a duality of purpose,
The fees go back into GA, rather than accumulate on the Balance Sheet of GASCo, were they are needed,
It is convenient and cost effective,
There may be other safety benefits - this is all about safety, isnt it.
It is specific and relevant to the equipment and aircraft the infringer almost certainly operates, and is specific and relevant to the GPS or other avoidance strategy the pilot will be accustom to using.
