Rod Machado has not made an error of fact or interpretation as long as I've
known him, and that was probably while you were still in liquid form.

People who have truth on their side don't need to resort to insults,
name-calling, bullying, and appeals to authority. They explain their
reasoning instead.

Until you came along, this was an interesting, civil discussion in
which people who disagreed were genuinely trying to understand the
reasons for the differences in their points of view.

But you just want to have a brawl. Sorry, not interested.

Look at the Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, too.

Wow, that's depressing. Whoever wrote the handbook apparently couldn't
be bothered to read the regulations before writing about them.

CJ, have you tried to get the FAA to correct their handbook? It's hard
to overcome this nonsense while the FAA is actively recycling it.
