Thanks Ed.. :) he knows he let things go way too far.. apparently when they talked to him they talked about loss of separation from a SWA flight.. which was news to me.. they only told me about terrain
I still feel like a shet because i was the loose nut behind the yoke that didn't fly the clearance, though, a good bit of mess goes on him for not instructing.
@midlifeflyer, he didn't say. According to him, his call with FAA was very confrontational, and the inspector read him the riot act. Which was 180 degrees off from the interaction I had with the inspector.
Well, the happy ending that was told to me by FAA is a lot different now.. CFII got a certified letter to take a 44709 ride and teach the instrument PTS.
I had a buddy who did some spooky things in the AF, and he was tasking me with destroying RAM and CPUs on decommed servers because there was the possibility of data being recovered from them. I think it was theoretical, but paranoid nonetheless.
Seen this before... Worked for a city government, and we shredded probably 1000 hard drives.. they are left as a pile of little metal chips.. and it's loud AF. But one can do a multi pass writes of stuff to the drive. DOD standard:
DoD 5220.22-M Wipe Method
The DoD 5220.22-M data...
