Again, training and experience is critically important.

billdan,

Are you missing the point on purpose, not understanding or just trying
to have a different discussion ?

Neither the referenced article nor my post disagree with the statement
"training and experience is critically important". *But we are making
the statement "there are some risks not mitigable by training".

If you are trying to emphasize the importance of training, please do
so without diminshing the posibility of other issues.

Thanks

I'm not missing the point - I'm going right at it.

Exactly what issues are not 'mitigable' by training? * I'm saying
there are no such issues. *All safety issues are addressable by
training. That's the fundamental premise of safety training.

My hot button is the prevalent but very wrong headed statement,
"Soaring is dangerous and there's nothing we can do about it".
Soaring isn't inherently dangerous of itself but human factors such as
lack of skill and knowledge can certainly make it so. *Training and
experience is how we address human factors.- Hide quoted text -

Well, I guess you are missing the point. Which is:

"Aircraft design issues can not be addressed by pilot training."
