    Annual Inspection Paperwork

    and, of course, there are those of us who are old enough to remember when some official FAA forms had to be filled out/signed in blue ink. Some countries (Pakistan comes to mind) still require blue ink.

    FAA Language Akin To "Rule By Iron Fist"

    So you’re suggesting that they make an open-ended statement with no timeline and no indication of what the action will be if the pilot doesn’t comply with the nonexistent timeline?

    ACS Standards Question

    Of course, when you throw in a “real” short field* with real obstacles, the picture and psychological problems change some more. It just keeps boiling down to the ACS not being a limiting document for training. *definition subject to interpretation.

    The self-flagellation of the frugal and mechanically minded(a rant)

    the ballast on the tub of our front loader started leaking metal filings all over the floor. My wife came home to a block and tackle above the washing machine so I could lift it our. :eek: Ordered a new ballast from Sears Parts Direct…it was cracked, and would’ve started doing the same thing...
