I'm humbled and in awe of the keyboard warriors on this forum.

I'm glad you said something first!

Correct. I’m questioning the decisions and actions of the FAA, in general, as well as specific inactions by the FAA to minimize this guy’s ability to act as an instructor at a flight school. This guy was employed at a flight school as a “certified flight instructor" for 10 months after he...

I think I’m pretty honest and open in that I think the FAA’s handling of many things is non-sensical. I’m sure you’re a very capable person and can walk and chew gum at the same time. I can adhere to the FAA regulations but disagree with them at the same time.

Someone lost their life because of this. He already flipped a plane with another student in it which could have resulted in the same. Guess I’m easily disturbed.

Don’t quit your day job.

So this comment and your further comment was an incredibly hilarious joke? MauleSkinner said: Depends who’s watching. MauleSkinner said: See numerous threads with comments about the FAA noticing illegal or unsafe activities by people voluntarily posting them on the internet for the world to...

Salty, you’re like a child that wanders into the middle of a movie. You’re wrong again on interpreting prior comments.

I’m trying to have honest discourse, until someone states/demonstrates otherwise. If this website is truly anonymous/using user names vs. posting your name and PI number, how would this at all be legal? If calling out a gov agency for having inefficient and questionable practices is cause for...

If complaining about the FAA process is something I should be worried about, then we’re more Orwellian that I thought. Or do the Pilot’s Bill of Right mean anything?

Don’t hurt either.

You do realize this is my post, right? Or is this a projection?

True, one just has a much higher burden than the other.

The point is to demonstrate the difference in how the FAA addresses one thing vs another using my specific situation. I can’t speak for anyone else’s situation. You don’t have to read OR respond to my post. This is an open forum last time I checked. I addressed your second comment in my...

Thank you for confirming. That’s the answer I expected. In contrast, that is NOT an option for someone that’s been deferred/denied a class 3 medical. Unless they spend the large amounts of $ and the often 18-24 months jumping through FAA hoops. 1 group is basically given every opportunity to...

@ MauleSkinner - please clear this up…

I asked the question poorly…does a pilot that has their private pilot certificate revoked or surrendered have the OPTION to get their sports pilot certificate? If I lose my private certificate today, could I get issued my sports certificate without any FAA requirements other than check ride?

I agree with everything you said. My point, and issue, is the light handed touch the FAA brings to these situations vs. the heavy handed touch towards medical deferral situations. Question, can you surrender or have your private pilots license revoked and then go on to fly under sports pilot...

Agreed, the difference is we have data showing prior piloting issues SPECIFIC to the pilot in question. I.e. 2 accidents even before the FAA got involved; which was only after a 3rd red flag safety concern report to the FAA. He was able to continue to fly after 2 accidents with no question. So...

As I said already, if you’re okay with a system that allowed this guy to continue flying under a temp airman certificate, after 2 accidents, a safety complaint and a failed check ride, I’m even more disturbed.
