In looking back through the Pilot Opinion Poll comment responses and minutes of the Rules Committee meetings back to 2007 (on the SSA site), I cannot find any instance where the issue of forbidding the use of artificial horizons or turn & banks has been raised. The RC makes great effort to seek considered pilot opinion formally as part of the poll and informally via email submission. All input is reviewed and considered each fall, the minutes published, the proposed rule changes published for comment, etc. etc. This year we received exactly 2 comments on the rules changes. The RC is not opposed to reviewing any rule, but deciding instantaneously to throw out a long standing rule just because some new instrument came along is not a good idea. I can only conclude that this is really a case of being surprised to find the rule exists. |
