being allowed to train).

I think it's a stretch to think that the FAA would find you to be "holding
out" to your own wife.

Generally, the standard requires holding out to the *public*.

IMHO, the only reason you think there's no way to strictly follow the rules
is that you're misinterpreting the rules.

A logical supposition, but easy to get into when the rules are complex and
the real rules are a mix of regulatory law, case law, and the sometimes
confused interpretation of different officials.

Notwithstanding the mental masturbation that occurs in these forums at times
(and I am as guilty as anyone), I use common sense to guide my actions and
generally will make any flight that I can.

I think that especially if you are right, but even if the rules *can* be
followed exactly, that's a very sensible approach.

Based on what I've read about this, I think the FAA stretches things.
