David Parkinson Guildford, Surrey, UK issued with helmets? And if you're counting votes - I'm against unrestricted in-flight mobile telephone use. Peter Johnson Gloucester, UK Rutan's edge Training routes Several correspondents have tried to belittle the achievements of SpaceShipOne. Peter Johnson (Flight International, 19-25 October) is typical of these when he com pares the missions of NASA's International Space Station supply flights with SpaceShipOne's trip and concludes there is no compari son. Of course there isn't. A more sensible comparison would be between how NASA sent Alan Shepherd into sub-orbital space and Rutan's approach. In this I sug gest Mr Rutan has demonstrated rather more than an edge on reduced complexity and cost. To say nothing of improved safety. John Farley Chichester, Sussex, UK Creative spirit Peter Johnson (Flight International, 19-25 October) has failed to grasp the point in his letter "Rutan has a long way to go". The comparison between SpaceShipOne and NASA's offerings made by Rob Wallace (Flight International, 12-18 October) was never intended to demonstrate a technological parity. Burt Rutan's achievement is indeed small in comparison to NASA's overfunded, overstaffed, overpriced miracles. Rutan's lesson to NASA is in terms of creative spirit, joie de vivre and vision. There was a lot of that in the industry a few years ago. It now seems unfashionable. Neil Peterson Boroko, Papua New Guinea Entertaining, but is it safe? To judge by your report "Ryanair shoots to frill with video" (Flight International, 28 September-4 October), the cabins of airliners are now to be filled with loose, hard, sharp cornered boxes each weigh ing 1.5kg (3.31b). Where does that leave passenger safety in severe tur bulence, or a 6g crash landing deceleration, or will we all be I feel Colin Green's comments (Flight International, 19-25 October) are a little naive. I am struggling to raise funds for training and am finding it impossible. There are two options, but for someone who has zero, or very few hours, the modular route is not necessarily an attractive option. By my calculation, if one were to undertake all the modules concur rently at one school, which I am advised is desirable to increase employability, the costs are not nearly halved. Medical and other professions are largely funded by the state while the student is at uni versity and when they do have to fund themselves they have the lux ury of being able to work at the same time. The flexibility afforded by the modular route for time/money may mean that the student can raise smaller amounts at different times, but this means there will be gaps in between modules when loans will have to be repaid and employment sought. Then there is the question of raising money for the next module either through loans or saving money from working. All this means that the process could take years. Not such a good deal after all. It seems that this career is open only to those lucky enough to have rich parents or lottery winners. Rupert McLeod Reading, Berkshire, UK UK CA A: pats on the back? Struck by the J McKenna's lauda tory comments (Flight International, 28 September-4 October) on the achievements of the European Joint Aviation Authorities in the field of maintenance regulation, I was wondering whether the heads of design, operations and licensing in the UK Civil Aviation Authority could say the same regarding their areas of responsibility.
