The last time I asked the question was at a training session some time ago,
and the particular person (now retired) said that there was room for
argument on either side, but that HIS interpretation was as I stated. I
haven't had a need for an update on that interpretation until it came up in
this ng, so I'll have to believe what I believe.

I can certainly ask my principal inspector next time I'm in the office for
another interpretation, but it will be just exactly that ... one more
individual inspector's opinion.

Does anybody have a definitive link to an opinion out of the Chief Counsel's
office on the matter? THAT should serve as the standard for FSDOs across
the country. Absent such an opinion, we go on individual interpretations,
no matter how high up the individual's chair sits in the hierarchy.

RST, I fly out of Sacramento too as a CFI. I usually work with FSDO
inspectors Nancy and John. Who have you been talking to?? I think
you've gotten some bad direction from the person you've been working
with at the FSDO..
