That is a giant load of crap.


How so? Is it your position that everything is illegal until a law is
enacted making some activity legal?

No, it is not. You're right about aviation issues that are not
addressed by a body of TSOs, ACs, and ARINC documents. That absense is
the not the case with IFR equipment and operations.

Ever heard of Class I and II navigation, for instance?

No, it is not.


Then you'll have to explain why it's a giant load of crap.

It's not the case with IFR equipment and operations that are required to
conform with a TSO or an AC by an FAR. It is the case with IFR equipment
and operations that are not.

I've seen this leap of illogic before. It us usually uttered by a desperate
man who finds himself argued into a corner and is beginning to realize that
his own prejudices, opinions, feelings and beliefs do not have the force of
law.

Next you might hear him try to claim that it has the force of law because
"that's the way we have always done it".
