Don,
I agree, but in today's world the number of "knowledgeable" parents
is diminishing and to save the "kids" it's important to have an
alternative. And today, there ain't one....
If you know of parents who don't know how to train their kids to
drive, volunteer to do it. You will save a life...!!!
Take care,

Well, I learned to fly from my Dad. The official instructor only gave
my hours, I didn't learn anything new from him. The instructor would
have ground looped our plane, had Dad not saved the landing. He
thought his multi-engine, instrument ratings were hot, but he was no
match for conventional gear (real airplanes have tail wheels). I'll
take a knowledgeable parent over a cocky 'instructor" any day.

I guess the question is would people be happy to fly in a plane
piloted by
someone who was trained by their Mum/Dad/Uncle/etc vs a professional
piloting instructor?
