I copied the whole thing previously.


Why didn't you read it?



Yes, I have honor and common sense.


You have neither.



I clearly stated that not every request can be granted, but
91.03 does say you can do what you want and not be violated
for breaking a FAR if that was required to handle the
emergency. It does not give blanket protection for any
action not needed.
If you'll notice I used 2-1-1 to show the FAAs use of the
limitations exception, not as a total argument.
see a dictionary for carte blanche...


The request we're discussing could have been granted, and should have.
