New Jersey operator licensing
Roger Long wrote: .... As a just (self) grounded private pilot, it does seem strange to go out and do something that involves just as much responsibility and requires just as much skill (at least to do safely) with out all the training and oversight involved in flying aircraft. Boat licensing is probably overdue but I still hate to see it coming up over the horizon. .... Your premise is wrong. Boating is far easier to do safely than flying. There are far more boaters than flyers and they have far fewer serious accidents. In terms of accidents per person mile I'm sure that walking on stairs is more dangerous than boating... Should we require stair user licences? I can't see where the government has a compelling interest here... -- Tom. |
