Default The Idiot without the NOTAM

There's a really simple solution. Upon landing at Oshkosh EVERY plane gets
a very simple ramp check to make sure that they have the NOTAM with them.
Anyone who arrives without a NOTAM gets their ticket revoked for 5 years.

Problem solved.

Marco,

I truly believe that if the "system"--excluding the Darwin factor--were
able to raise the bar and get rid of the bottom 5-10% of pilots flying
now in terms cognitive, decision-making, and stick-n-rudder ability we
would see a dramatic (maybe 50%) decrease in accidents. In time, it
will even revitalize GA by removing the "it's so dangerous up there"
mindset currently predominating the general public's opinion and more
people would start flying.


I fully agree. Question is: Who gets to decide?
