What if I don't log the time?


I'd have to call that "No Harm, No Foul..."


I asked a Portland cop one time if my assault weapon was legal and, if so,
was it legal to transport in my vehicle across town.

He said the weapon may or may not be legal and that it should be
disassembled for transport, but, above all, nobody cares as long as I don't
get in any trouble with it.

I view the FAA policies in this discussion as probably about the same; as
long as you're not doing something grossly deceptive or negligent and the
aircraft and pilot are licensed, current and airworthy, there will probably
never be a problem. If I were to take out an ad or solicit otherwise and it
came to their attention, I'd probably have a bit of explaining to do. Since
the principle benefits I derive from flying are experience and enjoyment, I
have no fear that the FAA is going to come on some witchhunt to get me.
Mainly because I've never heard anybody with a contrary example.
