No Quebec Tango, this wasn't the point. The point is that Doug claims
that the sunset rule was not arbitrarily enforced, but the quotes he
provided do not mention any particular FAR. So my question remains:
When exactly was it decided which FAR to enforce and which not, and
when/where was it communicated?

Could we stop using phrases like "enforce the FARs"? Doug
isn't/can't/won't enforce FARs; these are contest rules he is enforcing.
And it should be clear by now that the FARs that concern the SSA are
those that can be checked by looking at the flight file.

I agree that there wasn't much communication about following the FARs,
but I wouldn't have thought much was needed, either. I seem to be wrong.
