Thanks Mark. I was trying to upload the actual file, but I don't think you can do that from an iPad. Anyone know if that's possible, and how?

Here you are Ron: (Sorry, I don't know how to upload the PDF file from my iPad and I don't have access to my computer right now) U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration OCT 22 2013 Jeff Morgan 6955 Karen Street Burnaby, BC V5B 2V5 Canada Office of the Chief...

Here is what several posters have referred to. I can say from personal experience that it has been in common use on the West Coast for decades. I first recall using it in the mid 70's in the Monterey, CA. area. AIM 4-4-8. IFR Clearance VFR-on-top a. A pilot on an IFR flight plan...

I flew my girl friend the next day. I think she must have liked it. We were married two years later, 44+ years ago. She still loves to fly.

Ditto. (The J-3, not the L-4)

Steven, I posted the Interpretation at the same time you posted #33. You may have missed it.

Here's a copy of the LOI you mentioned. BTW, I'm not taking a position on the letter, just posting for others to see.

You're correct, it's a fairly standard swiss movement, and I'm sure any competent watch repairman can service it. I'm not any kind of watch expert, just enjoy nice ones, but I think you're correct that special care needs to be taken to protect the hacking mechanism. I hope you enjoy yours. I...

See post #84 for a good, albeit expensive solution. There is also some new models that have three zones, all analog. Outer ring can be rotated to any time zone. Nice thing is that you can see any time in any two time zones simultaneously. Not just time in second zone at the present time, but at...

Got mine in 1979. They had started making quartz models by then and I was adamant I wanted an automatic model (Airman 1). Werner Siegrist, owner of the company and the premier Glycine service tech in the U.S., hand-built mine for me. There were newer automatic models available in Europe, but I...

I wear the older one, on the left. The other is the newer model.

Here are three Chief Counsel letters that deal with the subject of safety pilots logging X-C.

Here is a case in which the court clearly held a CFI at fault for failing/refusing to sign a students logbook. Both the student and the CFI agreed instruction had been provided. Resulted in 60 day suspension. Administrator vs. Luyten (2006)

Just to be clear, you can operate VFR on-top when the sky is clear, no clouds in sight. AIM 4-4-8. IFR Clearance VFR-on-top f. ATC authorization to “maintain VFR-on-top” is not intended to restrict pilots so that they must operate only above an obscuring meteorological formation (layer)...

Jason, This is from the 7110.65T ATC: 4-5-7. ALTITUDE INFORMATION.... h. Instructions to vertically navigate on a STAR/RNAV STAR/FMSP with published restrictions..................... ..................................... 2. A descend via clearance shall not be used where procedures contain...

There was a Lear 25 at the airfield I flew out of in Italy with the registration "I-FLY". It was jet black with gold trim and registered to a local gold dealer (or so I was informed).

When I lived in Oregon all our pilots had the Oregon registration. Our company always handled the paperwork and paid the fees, so I wasn't to concerned with the reason behind it. Just put it in my wallet and went about my business. At one time I read that it was more or less just a fee intended...

You're correct, no "clearance" through Class C or D. I know this and it was a bad choice of words on my part. In the paragraph below that I made sure not to use "clear" in regards to Class C, i.e., "constituted communication as required by 91.130". Just didn't catch that I used "clear" in the...

Ron, I'm having a little difficulty understanding what you're getting at here. To start, I understand that the letter is not very relevant to the OP, but as the thread has progressed, general discussion shifted from "do I need to call tower if I'm overflying Class D" to "can someone besides...

This is a Letter of Interpretation from the Chief Counsels office. The question asked and answered pertained to Class C. The communication requirements for FAR 91.129 (Class D) and 91.130 (Class C) are the same, so based on that, I believe, had the question addressed Class D, the CC's answer...
