Why 'we' never win at Rugby.
Did you ever wonder why that is so; or, even why the world and it's wife thinks beating the All Blacks at rugger is a prize to be valued? The answer of course is a simple one; they stick to first principals.
They have applied that straightforward, no bull principal to their aviation industry. Long have they been the envy of the world; even the FAA is actively parring down the verbiage in their own, first class regulatory system to make 'simple' to comply; and their rules and system is a world leader – go figure. Seriously, the stress, strain and responsibility a PPL on 'private' operations in nowhere near the 'legal' load a skipper of a 'commercial' operation (and size don't matter in this instance). Once again, the Kiwi's show they way. Bravo, well done and probably a big thanks from the national PPL cohort.
Then, we must pay tribute the John O'Brien and Arthur Pape, and all those who have patiently, determinedly and quietly managed to clear the hurdle of CVD embuggerance. Magnificent effort; full marks and unlimited Tim-Tams. But it's a funny business – this CVD. I can pass the Ishiara test standing on my head – easy. But I was party to a demonstration by a 'wise owl' who rigged up several light sources – dark room, one chair, one book – surprise! In some light sources we are all a little bit CVD; particularly in the low voltage quasi light of a terminal; or some neon; it all has to do with 'colour temperature'.
From Wiki – and from Westinghouse – well worthy of consideration. I just wonder why CVD was 'black-listed' for so very long; I really do. No matter, well done the CVD crew. Enjoy being able to fly without restriction. It is a significant milestone and a monumental achievement.
Toot – toot.
