Aircraft Registration

I recommend, if you plan to enter the NAS at any time in the near
future, or maybe just want to stay slightly on this side of the legal
fence, you check the database for your N number and see if you're on
the list.

Perhaps the airspace system might include permission to enter a wave
window. Be a bummer to be told "NO" as you struggle to stay below 18,000
feet!

I hate ask what is could be construed as a dumb question, esp. on RAS,
but what does the Mode S code in the in the Aircraft Description
section mean? I know our 27 doesn't have a transponder.

All US registered aircraft have a Mode S code, it is also written on
your registration card. If you ever install a Mode S transponder; ATC
will know who you are, what you're flying, your N number, your
political affiliation, left-handed or right-handed, IFR equipped and if
you've made any international telephone calls to Osama - without you
telling ATC over the VHF. ;-)

Gotta go put the landing gear back in the Nimbus and stop all this
humorous typing.
