Otis,

Call your FSDO, and ask them (hint, you wont like the answer)

Call your IA, and ask him (hint, if he's worth a damn, you wont
like his answer)

Do the following Google Groups search:

chrome spinner legal OR crack OR faa OR fsdo OR IA group:rec.aviation.*

(hint, after reading the 43 messages, you wont like the gist of these
postings, either)

So far, the postings in response to your question here have not added
anything that hasn't been posted on this topic since 1995.

Google groups search for "chrome spinner group:rec.aviation.*"
gets 170 hits.
