It was supposed to be part of the Part 23 re-write, but it was completely omitted. The proposal under than was less stringent than the original proposal.

It has been tried as "Primary Category" and went nowhere. Like Third Class Medical Reform, it would have to get Congress behind it to force the FAA to take action by passing legislation. They aren't likely to willingly change it.

I do most my own work on my J-3 under supervision of an A&P/IA. I do most of my own work on my RV-4 and the same A&P/IA does the condition inspection. My last condition inspection on the RV-4 and the annual on the J-3 (currently ongoing) this year are running about the same amount. Both had...

I was based at a Class D (KLAW) without ATIS 20+ years ago. When they finally got it, I had to get in the habit of remembering to use it. :D

I flew one with 180hp Lycoming O-360 and CS prop conversion on a delivery. Nice airplane.

I have no need nor desire to land there. So, no problem. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Perish the thought. I haven't been upside down in a plane since Sunday evening.

FTFY :D

You aren't ruined yet, just slightly damaged. :D Try out a taildragging RV and see how you like it. Then, try a Pitts. Nothing like the first flight in an S1 to get the juices flowing knowing it is all on you to get it back down. In the meantime, you just have to use the slightest pressure...

Not like this guy, apparently.

Yep, the make a great deal of noise, are windy and uncomfortable and drip oil to mark their territory. :D

I walked out of a surgical consult after waiting in the waiting room for 30 minutes before being taken to an exam room and made to put on a gown and having to wait over an hour and a half for an 10:30am appointment. I got dressed and walked out to find the doctor and nurse sitting at a desk...

Duly noted and publicly responded as such, but your taking notice and taking even more time to post such a detailed response really makes all the difference. I really was on the fence until your well constructed...grunt. Now, if only Ravioli would chastise me, my day would be complete. :D :D...

My mistake for spreading misinformation. For Part 91 ops I’ve seen more than one shop where A&Ps without IA do the physical work of 100 hour inspections “under the supervision” and the IA comes behind and does the AD compliance and checks behind the A&P and signs off the airplane. I’ve also...

Generally speaking, a 100 Hour is an airframe/engine inspection and can be done by an A&P without IA. The Annual Inspection is a paperwork review which must be signed off by an A&P with IA saying a/c is airworthy. He (she) may not even have to look at the airplane if an A&P has performed a 100...

There are more airplanes in the water than submarines in the sky...

How much rudder trim is dialed in in the T-6? :D

I got my ME in an Apache in 1987 flying out of a grass strip in Justin, TX. It was all the Apache could do with two adults and 1/2 fuel to get out of that place. We did most training at Denton where IP could fail an engine on take-off and not actually kill us... The Aztec was a much nicer ride.

If there's no bent tin, you're doing okay.
