ADIZ Violation Explained in AOPA Magazine

I have 0 sympathy for either of these guys. Since when is a GPS required
for VFR navigation? What happened to learning how to read a map and looking
out the window? Makes you really question a system where you get your
pilots license and you are good to go for life. Maybe there should be some
periodic retest to make sure people still have the skills they need or have
learned about new stuff that didn't exist when they first got their license.

Funny. I though that's what a biennial was all about?

What isn't funny, is how many people are flying that have not had a biennial
in decades.

I fly all the time. Sometimes I use an airplane.

Only fly during the odd numbered years and you never need a BFR :-)

The pilot didn't have BFR, or the BFR system isn't working.

You have zero sympathy for the student-pilot passenger who hadn't even begun
his cross-country flight-training yet? What sort of navigational
responsibility do you expect such a passenger to bear? (The FAA, of course,
found him to be blameless.)

Obviously the pilot is the one responsible. But you would think that a
stundent pilot with 30 hours, particularly one who is going along to get
cross country experience would have a little better grasp of map reading and
basic navigation.

Actually, I would place some culpability on the FBO (presumably) that
rented the PIC the aircraft. However, that in no way diminishes the
multiple transgressions of the PIC.

Why?

Sheaffer owned a share in the C-150, no mention of an FBO....
