Pilots’ aptitude
•
Each pilot should be able to act on his own responsibility.
•
Each pilot flying under their own responsibility, must be able to judge if they are able
to cope successfully with the particular flying conditions during a flight.
•
Even with the best and safest equipment, a wrong decision can lead to serious injury.
It is the pilot’s obligation to avoid such misjudgements by progressing through
structured theoretical and practical training.
•
It is the pilots’ obligation to use suitable protective gear and to maintain the
airworthiness of their equipment.
By following these basic principles we wish all pilots a successful, safe and enjoyable flying
career.
