FAA's General Counsel has absolutely no authority over the US
Military.

We're talking about knowledge of the law.


Yes, we are.

The US Constitution, which puts the Military directly under the
President,

That's silly. Everyone working for the President doesn't have to obey
the law?


Congress has no authority to make such a law, so how could delegated
Congrsional authority lead to any such regulatory authority?

FAR 91.1 says that it "prescribes rules governing the operation of
aircraft...within the United States...."


No, a FAR is a Federal Acquisition Regulation and has nothing to do with
airspace.

Doesn't say "civil" or "military", so it applies to everyone, unless
the law itself provides the exemption.


If you mean CFR 14, then that administrative law has only to do with those
individuals and corporations that volentarily submit themselves to FAA's
regulatory authority.

Can you provide any supporting evidence at all to justify your
position?


You have failed to support your position, Greg, or to even know the words.

No, military compliance with CFR14 is at the US military's discression.

A
FAR is a Fedral Acquisition Regulation and is not an FAA regulation.



Um, Tarver? FAR = Federal Aviation Regulations.


Nope, FAA lost the lawsuit and is no longer allowed to use the acronym.

the military is not governed by FARs...

Here's a copy from a FAA letter of interpretation:

December 9, 1992
Dr. Dietrich Bahls

Dear Dr. Bahls:

...

You are correct that in the U.S. there is only "one" airspace in which
both civil and military aircraft operate. While in U.S. airspace Part
91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) governs the operation of
aircraft, both civilian and military.


No, military compliance with CFR14 is at the US military's discression.

A
FAR is a Fedral Acquisition Regulation and is not an FAA regulation.


The FAA, and even the 14CFR itself refers to 14 CFR as the Federal

Aviation
Regulations and uses the abbreviation FAR.


Not anymore. In consent decree FAA agrees to not use the acronym FAR
anymore.

Come on folks, wake up... Despite lip service and soothing sounds offered
by their spokesman, the military arm of the federal government

demonstrates
daily that it is not bound by civilian rules, including the FAA rules...

I
will ask one rhetorical question for those who are not too brain dead to
think for themselves...
Where in 14 CFR, Part 91, et. al., does it authorize you to attach a fully
automatic machine gun on the aircraft, or a nuclear weapon, or napalm,
etc.,?


Military aircraft built after 1959 have little chance of even being
certificated for flight operations under CFR14.

Obviously it doesn't yet they do - Res Ipsa Loquitor / QED ...

. While in U.S. airspace Part

obviously NOT!

There doesn't need to be an authorization. There is no prohibition.

There are numerous exemptions in the FARs for military aircraft, and
there are a number of other blanket exemptions such as "Unless
authorized by the administrator".

The Administrator is capable of issuing exemptions for just about
every reg there is, and most likely has done so for the military. But
Part 91 gives the Administrator the right to do so.

Congress has no authority to make such a law, so how could delegated
Congressional authority lead to any such regulatory authority?

Here's a quote from the Cornell web page on military law:

-----snip--------
Congress's control over formation, organization and government of the
national armies is plenary and exclusive.
-----snip--------

You have failed to support your position, Greg, or to even know the
words.

I've given you the following
1) Statement by the FAA's general counsel's office
2) References to the FARs which contain military exemptions
3) FAR statements as to the applicability of the regs

All you've given me is statements based on your own authority.

Part 91 only requires that "Civil" aircraft have an airworthiness
certificate.

Congress' power is limited to funding and declaration of war. Any claim of
Congressional primacy over the military seems childish, in light of the past
30 years of American history. Even the enabling order giving DoD authority
over the military has been resinded, during this Administration.

You have failed to support your position, Greg, or to even know the

I'll refer you to Article II section 2:

"The President shall be Commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the
United States, and of the militia of the several States, when called into
the actual service of the United States;"

Historically, this section of Article II is the explicit price George
Washinton required to become the first President of the Republic; no George
Washington, no Republic. Washington, commander of the Army of Virginia, was
the most powerful man in America at the time and refused to relinquish power
in order to be President.

I suggest that in the future, you post items you are capable of
understanding, Esres. As has been pointed out by other posters, the
Military has their own regulation bringing them into compliance with some
sections of CFR14, but this document is controlled by the military and is in
no way subject to FAA review.

Actually, your "numerous exemptions" are limitted to a handfull in part 91.
The only part that even pretends to play military and civilian together.


The Administrator is capable of issuing exemptions for just about
every reg there is, and most likely has done so for the military. But
Part 91 gives the Administrator the right to do so.


The "Administrator" has no authority over the military or public aircraft,
only civil aviation.
