Bad fuel gauges?

Gee, the world famous aviator is now telling us that the FAA doesn't know
what it is talking about when it writes documents.

Are you claiming that there are no errors in those documents? That the
regs, handbooks, advisory circulars and all the rest are more inerrant
than the Bible? I was not aware that the FAA publications were written
by God.


Idiot. Get a little real world sense. Whoever wrote the handbook has
dozens of years, thousands of hours, and an understanding of how the world
works.

I have dozens of years, thousands of hours, and a pretty good
understanding of the how the world works, too.


Rod Machado has not made an error of fact or interpretation as long as I've
known him, and that was probably while you were still in liquid form.

In fact, when Rod Machado repeated this myth in AOPA Flight Training
Magazine I wrote to him and asked him about it, pointing out the
regulations. He wrote back and admitted that my interpretation was
probably correct.

Unlike you, Rod is capable of admitting he made a mistake and I have a
great deal of respect for him.

I am not sure which of us is older.
