redlined FARs?

Don't worry about it. It's apparently part of that certain hereinbefore mentioned "correct terminology" movement. Kind of like being politically correct.

(:D I actually had to look up how to spell hereinbefore since it's a "correct terminology" term I never use in legal writing; those poor writing skills showing themselves again :rolleyes:)

Actually it was kinda fun to read some of the correspondence sent to us from the "Aviation Attorneys" over various matters. Poor references filled with endless "legalese".........reminded me of the old saying "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bu!!****". :rolleyes: :D

You can find the up to date Code of Federal Regulations on the GPO web site at http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/ECFR?page=browse.

Use the drop down menu on the page to find Title 14. All the FAA regulations can be found there. This site is updated as needed, so you can bet that what is there is the current version. I tend to spend more time looking at Title 47 (Telecommunications) as those are the FCC Rules.

Why not go to www.faa.gov and click on Regulations?

You know what... I actually DID have that. I bought it in 2013 but I totally forgot about it because it is an iBook and not an app. So I guess it's only visible inside iBooks (AFAIK). That is why I couldn't find it on the app store - it's not there it's in iTunes.

But yeah that is searchable and a helluva of a lot easier to read than any other version I've seen.

So thank you for that.

I won't disagree with you. I can't stand unnecessary legalese. Most of it is because it is language that has stood the test to legal challenges but so much of it is unnecessary.

You can't possibly mean the link that says "Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR)" My goodness! The official FAA website using "slang" :D

Actually all that link does is ultimately take you to the place Ghery linked to with an extra step. So, "why not click on 2 links when 3 will do?" ;)

Or one: FAR in eCFR (the one I have bookmarked for the aviation regs)

Unless you are flying helicopters or you are a flight instructor nothing changed in the past year+ that matters to you. I monitor the NPRMs and FRs. There's nothing really applicable in the current rulemaking pipeline either. I suspect the next big noise you'll here is the medical changes some time next summer.

What changed in the helicopter world?

I mentioned it earlier. They added an explicit visibility (this is only very recently becoming effective, that new rulemaking was delayed). There is now an explicit 1/2 mile visibility for helicopters in class G airspace. They reworked the table of minimum cloud clearance/visibilities to move it up in there.

Not surprising, it seems a great number of lawyers actually have poor writing skills. :rolleyes:

They are paid by the hour to put words on the page, then they charge by the page when finished. So writing well is not done thing that lawyers want to do, it would cost them money!

Who else in the world regularly uses full double-spacing on every page, plus an extra blank (double space) between paragraphs, just to consume more (chargeable) pages? I turned in three engineering reports recently, ranging from 20-34 pages, plus uncounted pages of data, statistics and graphs. All single spaced, with a 6-point space between sections and smaller gaps between paragraphs within each section. A lawyer would have had them nearly 100 pages each . . .
 
I'm sure next year's version of 14 CFR will clear up all misconceptions ever and codify all those lovely Chief Counsel letters no one knows exist. ;)
