Intruiged that you pilots seem to find room for disagreement
over which FARs
apply.

Part 129 .Operations: Foreign air carriers and foreign operators
of U.S.-registered aircraft engaged in common carriage.
Section 19 - Air traffic
rules and procedures

(a) Each pilot must be familiar with the applicable rules, the
navigational and
communications facilities, and the air traffic control and other
procedures, of
the areas to be traversed by him within the United States.

(b) Each foreign air carrier shall establish procedures to
assure that each of
its pilots has the knowledge required by paragraph (a) of this
section and
shall check the ability of each of its pilots to operate safely
according
to
applicable rules and procedures.

* (c) Each foreign air carrier shall conform to the practices,
procedures,
and
other requirements prescribed by the Administrator for U.S. air
carriers
for
the areas to be operated in. *

129.19(c) appears to infer that foreign carriers have to comply
with Part
121
whilst in US airspace.

Kind of what I thought but didn't look into properly. Better that
you do it,
seeing that you have more time on yer hands.

I have a few free moments - sure. Didn't take me more than about 15
mins to work
through the FARs to find it though.

Good, that's about 13 mins more than I apply to most responses here.


Either way, if you're implying that "you pilots" ought to know all
the regs,
that's ridiculous.

And I'm *not* implying that btw. Just intruiged to see how many
opininons came
into discussion.


We're only required to be familiar with the ones that
apply to the particular type of flying we're doing, which makes my
job easy.


Actually, you have my agreement. The FARs are written in 'legalese'
and often
appear to be confusing and even possibly contradictory.

Not in my limited experience.

Pilots have more important things to do than have to worry about
the wording of
some obscure clause in the regs.

Yup, whose round is it?

Limey.

who's able to read their cellphone to call the hotel for a pickup?

**** that, let's have another!
