When the Office of the Chief Counsel signs their John Henrietta to the
bottom of the Lynch FAQ, then it becomes the governing document. Until
then, it is the opinion (albeit a pretty good one) of a single person
writing the FAQ. And yes, I downloaded the whole damned thing and printed
it out.

I contend...there is as much argument on one side as the other, no matter
how the individuals within the FAA are reading the tea leaves today.

FAA inspectors can carry around as much as they wish in their briefcase.
Until OCC opines, the matter is open to interpretation. After that , it is
the courts that make the law.

The Lynch FAQ says the safety pilot must have a current medical since
he's serving as a required crew member. The Lynch FAQ is what most FSDO
inpsectors carry around in their briefcase.
