| Boy, I'm so glad we have YOU to set us all straight
Peter.
|
| It seems that for now, you are the only person in need of
setting straight.
| No one else is claiming to know of hidden regulations
prohibiting a
| non-pilot from taxiing an airplane.
|
| There are several areas of the FARs where particular
activities/actions
| etc. are not specifically mentioned as "prohibited" but
neither are
| they specifically authorized or sanctioned.
|
| Such as?
|
| The FAA issues Advisory
| Circulars to clarify their positions on losts of these
sorts of subjects,
| often stating positions which to some may seem at odds
with the wording
| of the FARs.
|
| Are you claiming there's an AC that prohibits a non-pilot
from taxiing an
| airplane?
|
| In most cases they seem to come down on the side of more
| restrictive than what the casual reader may glean from
reading the FAR.
|
| You can be assured that in the event of an
accident/violation etc. that
| the FAA will come down as holding the CFI (or whatever
party supposedly
| authorized/sanctioned the questionable activity) as
being culpable.
|
| Assured by whom?
|
| I assume you have documentation to support your claim?
Where is it
| prohibited for a student (or anyone else without a pilot
certificate)
| without a solo endorsement to taxi an airplane?
|
| Safety and good judgement is one of the criteria used to
determine the
| cause of incident and thats what that is emphasized to
much to CFIs, as
| they are to instill this into their students.
|
| Safety and good judgment are both good things. So what?
There's lots of
| stuff that's legal but unsafe or in poor judgment.
|
| But I don't need to tell you this because you already
know it all.
|
| I appreciate your support.
|
| Pete
