The world is full of 'experts' who will tell you that something is
against the FAR's. When pressed, they will tell you to call the FSDO
if you don't believe them. Those experts can't ever seem to quote the
relevant FAR. They are best ignored.

There is no such regulation in the Part 91 world.

I have to agree with Michael, there are a lot of experts who know
rules that don't exist.

FSDO's aren't the experts and are often the source of such myths.

Locally we have had a FSDO inspector tell us we could not carry
passengers while towing gliders. He reversed this after I inquired to
he and is boss as to where this rule came from.

Recently another FSDO inspector told a local 141 flight school that
all the gas caps on their aircraft needed to be painted Red. I am
still trying to figure out which hat or book he might have pulled that
rule out of. Maybe someone here knows?
