but it still totally fails to conform to the spirit of the regulation. Exactly. It's clearly a violation if they came back after a half hour, but when each pilot clearly flew with a CFI for an hour, and met all the explicit regs, I'd want the FSDO to keep its "spirit of the rule" and regional interpretations to itself. Now recall what I said: There are plenty of people out there who try to abuse the system and inspectors who try to curtail the abuse - generally in a manner that is ineffective, illegal, and incompetent. This is exactly the situation here. I happen to agree with you - I also want to limit the authority of the FSDO inspectors to enforcement of the explicit regs, and I want the FSDO inspectors to keep their "spirit of the rule" and regional interpretations to themselves. But what is the underlying assumption here? Let's be honest about it - the FSDO inspectors are using their best judgment. What we're saying is that their judgment is so poor that we don't want them using it. Kind of a sad state of affairs, isn't it? Michael |
