A Pilot May violate the regulations repeatedly without suffering an Accident and there undoubtedly Are Many violations of the air Commerce regulations and air traffic rules which never come to the attention of the Bureau. But available statistics and general observation Point unmistakably to the fact that the Pilot who ignores regulations or makes a practice of violating them thereby multiplies the hazards and risks in his flying.
