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...

FWIW: it appears we look at the topic of morals and values much differently: you appear to follow a theoretical approach and I a realistic approach. It also appears your approach is somewhat narrow in scope. For example, you limit your definition of “significant harm” to only property damage...

Part of the cause. For example, take the recent TCM circlip issue. The cause was one person did not install “some” crankshaft circlips in the proper way and those shafts made it out into the industry. The issue was it was unknown where all those shafts ended up. So an AD was issued to capture...

Keep in mind, Vector/Virtower are private businesses out to make a profit and have developed a niche market. Unfortunately, most airport commissions are run by community leaders vs aviation professionals. Plus a number of small regional airport commissions have delusions of grandeur when told if...

Not really. There have been 10-30 small GA airports closed every year for the past several decades. And the common thread through most closings is tied to how the airport was funded. Sky Harbor is a Part 139 certified airport. It will always be there and accept any aircraft thanks to its FAA...

In practice I’ve found the opposite to true especially in the aviation community. Have seen a single person’s violation of a rule affect the entire community whether they were directly or indirectly involved by a single AD note. In my book, they are collectively a victim, ie., the community or...

Be careful what you wish for. Based on my experience, if non-Part 139 public airports, to include a number of “private” aircrafts, lost certain public-funding and its associated protections, 90+% of them would be sold to developers at the earliest convenience. So that would have you look for...

FWIW: not a fan of remote filters on small recip aircraft unless your filter location is a real beach to get to... which in most cases is mainly on twins in my experience.

Except without some sort of common denominator what’s the point of the debate? I believe it’s very important for both parties to have a basic understanding of each other’s core beliefs for a debate to be worthwhile. Otherwise, the debate is nothing more than a huge "gray area" with one side...
