How could the NTSB say something that is clearly explicitly allowed by the FAA is careless. It's not expressly allowed, it's just not expressly forbidden. I don't have a strong opinion either for or against their ruling. If we consider the process carefully, it's really the FAA which makes the rules and the FAA which enforces the rules. The NTSB is the body to which we might appeal the FAA's less defensible enforcement actions, but they're pretty much a rubber stamp for the will of the FAA. If someone got violated for flying IFR in Class G airspace without a clearance, it's the FAA that deemed it a violation. The NTSB simply failed to fight about it with the FAA. The distinction is pedantic, but also telling. |

Actually, I think that's an interesting point. You're right of course, but why doesn't the FAA just go ahead and make it a FAR, if they feel that strongly about it? There is effectively a dual rule-making process, but one's relatively out in the open, the other kinda hidden. |
