So the next issue of Soaring magazine will come off the press without

Head in the sand attitudes will not fix this problem.
WE NEED to air the dirty laundry until this problem is much better. We
can't depend on speculation on RAS or
digging for NTSB reports which often don't contain anything helpful.
Give me the facts, ma'am.

Soaring Magazine isn't the place for this subject but the SSF web site
is. I'd like to see detailed no-holds-barred discussion of every
accident. Unfortunately, making public allegations of incompetence
against a deceased pilot CAN get you sued by irate family members.
There is a need to tread responsibly - and carefully.

Why is Soaring Magazine not the right venue for a detailed discussion of accidents? AOPA Pilot has lots of articles on this topic, and it is one of the more interesting, not to mention informative, parts of the magazine.
