I believe there is more than one clear threat to GA. The obvious one is the now well entrenched change to the planning regulations that means all airfields are 'Brown Field Sites'. We all know what effect that has had.
But, it is also clear that a massive training gap will open up within the industry very soon. Particularly at the grass roots level.
I'm constantly bemused at just how defensive and closed minded many in GA are to the issue of lack of co-ordination between airfields and operations on these matters. It is small wonder the Property Development trade has been so successful at attacking GA and constantly winning.
I would have thought the idea of discussing the future and how to protect it would have been important to pilots and operators alike. However, it seems many folks simply cannot even contemplate a fresh pair of eyes might have something to offer or indeed even willing to discuss it? I've come onto this forum expecting to find helpful people who clearly know more than me who I would hope could explain issues in detail.
Instead I seen wild speculation of my intentions and surprisingly high levels of aggressive and dismissive comments. Why? Why the aggression?
I'm starting to see the reasons GA isn't getting the support if needs. As a group of people a lot of folks within GA think they are above needing to help each other or work together and thus GA will end up in a very lonely situation I suspect.
