Printing it in some official or semi-official publication doesn't make it right. But it *does* make it the right answer to the written test when that test is given by that same authority. For the test, concentrate not on what is necessarily true, but on what the FAA wants for an answer. After the written is out of the way, just learn to fly the aircraft. Jim Beckman |
