FYI: politicians only provide the legislative law to base the regulation on. Regulations are developed by agencies via the APA rulemaking process. No politicians involved. However, the big difference with regulations is the general public has an opportunity to make a direct comment about them in...

Do you have any examples where data/analytics are required before the FDA proposes a new regulation/rule? A quick look through the FDA regulatory structure I find more similarities to the FARs than not. There’s definitely more data driven requirements on the specific product certification side...

Curious. What other transportation industry, or any other federally regulated industry, requires data and analytics to justify the implementation of rules or regulations?

As I’ve explained previously, or maybe not as well as I should, in aviation you will see “data” requirements usually for one or two reasons: there is a new or revised rule proposal or to determine safety levels. In most cases there will is no current data for rules that existed prior to the APA...

IMO, it really depends on your aircraft electrical system design whether there is any benefit. While in general is always best to reduce any loads during engine start, sometimes its not possible to reduce all loads. I think a review of the OEM start procedure, followed by a review of the...

My comments were directed to Standard AWC aircraft as an annual inspection serves as more than just an inspection of the condition for safe flight. However, from strictly a flight condition point, your 100hr/3 year idea would work so long as all possible discrepancies or issues were caused only...

Can’t access the article, but if its similar to his other articles on the same topic then no. And that is a professional opinion. His argument of a comparison to the “big boys” is moot on several levels. The most prevalent is on recreational, Part 91 aircraft the annual is the only time the...

Not at all. I’m very familiar with all kinds of social/moral frameworks and have had many discussions over same. However, while I do very much respect your views, I only consider those frameworks that have actually worked and have a historical presence. As I mentioned, I am a realist at my core...

Yes. But they tend to be a top shelf, select group of owners. Their aircraft rarely hit the public sale market, don’t require prebuys, and are just a pleasure to maintain. However, its more an owner mind-set that drives this, and in my experience, that mind-set is dying off at the same rate the...

What oil temps are you seeing now in climb? What oil temps are you seeing in cruise and at what power setting? What CHT is shown for climb and cruise? Is this a new problem or existing problem? What type of oil temp gauge is installed? What oil temps do you see in the winter?

The 1961 law made hijacking a federal crime and implemented some basic screening requirements. Where I found the 1st mention of screening equipment was in 1970 in a decree by Nixon. But with a stroke of luck following the clues in your 1973 121.538 link, I think I found a citation that will...

Not at all, just an observation. And which you basically affirmed with your sovereign citizen/libertarian comment. The fact both communities believe a majority of current laws and rules are “illegitimate and immoral and should be abolished", simply gives me more reference to your viewpoint and...

Everything is in the Federal Register. However, whether it is accessible via the online portal is a different matter. Same with the LoC. Since you found a 1973 version of 121.538 with pax screening perhaps the requirement started in a different rule prior to that? And since the original...

The only truth I've seen from our discussions is you do not believe in the principal that the aviation laws and rules apply to you personally. You further confirm this by defining the enforcement and punishment of those laws and rules as a threat of violence or an act of force. While you state...

Per your “direct force” definition below, an ASI is prohibited from using physical force on an individual in the course of their duties. Per your “indirect force” definition below, an ASI is prohibited for using threats or using a threatening manner in the course of his duties. And so on...

Yes. All of your sub-category definitions would require an ASI to engage in prohibited actions which are spelled out in the above references I posted. So in that context, what would be the purpose of your moral discussion if you require the other person must act in an “immoral” way to make your...

Agree. But I’ve always found it easier to simply follow existing guidance when it comes to terminology and context for a specific topic as it gives us both a singular point of establish reference vs a home-grown version with no outside reference. So with this discussion, I believe Part 13...

In general, you’ll find laws are created first, then regulations are created to implement those laws. In your request, the original law dictating the prevention of concealed weapons on commercial aircraft appears to have been passed in 1961. At that time, the airlines were given the...

Before I get to your other questions, there’s one point that needs a bit more common ground for us. Proper context and verbiage is paramount in a discussion. So I’ve realized that some of my rebuttals to your points may have been due to your definition of certain terms vs the context of our...

Yes. There are several sites that archive FARs. However, that said, many FARs are added/deleted/revised on a regular basis. For example, the rewrite of Part 23 removed 900+ individual regulations from the register. So after a quick check of the current 121.538 it appears it is related to the...
