Craig,
I would respectfully disagree with you. I would suggest that this is exactly
what is needed. I'm sure that HPAT is an excellent training program, but having
independent instructors that are trained to specific Lancair standards will
yield better trained pilots. And that training will be utilized if it is widely
available and affordable. (Which is not to critize HPAT.)
I expect that LOBO will tackle a number of different issues in due time.

Jeff,
I do appreciate your efforts with LOBO, but I do have a comment.
It seems that the early focus of LOBO has been on Instructor standardization,
developing a teaching syllabus, and coordination with the FAA and the
insurance industry. That program has been in place by Pete Z. and HPAT for
some time. Wouldn't it be best to coordinate efforts with HPAT and focus on
the real problem-the apparent indifference to training many (over)confident
pilots have...
Just a thought.

Art & LML,
You read our mind. LOBO is working on these issues. Last weekend LOBO hosted
a LOBO Lancair Instructor Pilot Standardization (LOBO LIPS) seminar in St.
Louis. Great weekend with some very experienced instructors in Lancairs. We
have develeped a very good Lancair flight and ground training program after
reviewing all Lancair accident stats. LOBO has been talking to the FAA and
the insurance industry in order to reverse our negative safety trend and to
help us get where we need to be viz. insurance. Our training program is being
forwarded to the FAA for review for FITS acceptance. We will soon begin
instructor standardization and evaluation. LOBO will be hosting maintenance
seminars this spring in the Washington DC area and in St. Louis. I promised
you all that we would work hard on these issues and it is happening. For now,
we need more LOBO members! There definitely is strength in numbers here. If
you are not a member, join. If you already are a member please recruit a new
member. fmi see www.lancairowners.com
Best Holiday Regards,
Jeff Edwards
