Conservation aviation laws needed in Pakistan and the world.

For the improvement of the global environment and to conserve precious fuel, the civil aviation authorities around the world need to adopt conservation laws.

For instance in my flight school where we fly general aviation planes, the school now provides fuel testers that filter all the particles before pouring the fuel sample back into the fuel tank. Normally, fuel testers do not come in filters and the fuel samples are thrown away once checked.

On the long run this is a waste of money and fuel. If the Civil Aviation of Pakistan were to adopt a law enforcing all aircraft be inspected pre-flight using fuel testers with filters, a lot of fuel and money can be saved.

Knowing the high fuel prices Pakistan is sometimes hit with and with the heavy consumption of fuel, this can be a good measure in conservation. This law should not only be adopted in Pakistan, but world-wide.
