To All: Removal of the FAA AFS-800 Part 61 and 141 FAQ web site Last month the FAA cancelled the AFS-800 Part 61 and Part 141 FAQ's. Evidently the reason was because the FAA Public Relations folks, the creator of the FAA's main "How do I become a Pilot?" FAQ web page convinced the...

So, ah, where was FAA Air Traffic control during this debacle??? Real warm fuzzy knowing a 150 can just wander in the most restricted airspace on Earth with no bells and whistles before it was 3 miles away from the White House. It should have been noticed 60 miles out not 3. Got to be an Air...
