When I read it now it looks like I wrote it ?

I actually stole it from a aviation safety site. But the message is still good.?

Two questions:?

If you fly through this airspace, did you just violate 14CFR91.225?? The answer is "Yes".? The FAA published a Policy Statement into the Federal Register in April of 2019.? It essentially states the only allowed process to gain an authorization to fly in this airspace (if you're not Out equipped) is to use the ADAPT online request between 1 and 24 hours in advance.? The key statement is that an ATC clearance is not an authorization.? You can the policy statement here: ? The only question is...is the monitoring FAA body enforcing the rule?

Primary point:? Don't be of the camp that thinks that ATC controller instructions give you a pass to the ADS-B Out reg 91.225.? (There are abnormal situations that allow this like weather...read the policy statement).

FAA issued AW and repairman certificate yesterday.? Alex and Mark kept inspector happy with coffee & hot chili.

The inspector did look at a bit of detail, found a backward safety wire on my prop, so plane is a bit better as a result of his efforts, so I am grateful.

Other than last week's very last minute cancellation, it was a positive experience overall.

Thanks to all for the help in getting this far.

My Friday FAA AW inspection got cancelled at last minute.? He has rescheduled for Monday AM at 0A7.?


I think it is suppose to rain again, so I am not 100% confident of an appearance.....!

As I studied the insurance article in more detail, I read that relying on Basic Med in lieu of a 3rd class medical can contribute to much higher premiums.? I have a Basic Med appointment with my physician this morning, but given I have no reason to believe I couldn't pass a 3rd class medical, I may reconsider and go for the 3rd class renewal, at least until the insurance market settles.?

P.S. It's particularly galling to read that the 737 Max fiasco a likely contributor to the overall aviation premium increase.

Alex,

I read in AOPA News this morning a possible explanation for your astronomical hull insurance increase (see?).? Though the article is focused on AOPA's partner, Assured Partners, it asserts rates have increased across aviation.? Just what we need – higher costs for flying.

Brian?

I got my quote for the CallAir from Gallagher today. Not good. Nearly $2,500 for 60k hull and the usual liability. No accidents/incidents and 500+ hours tailwheel. That’s nuts.?

I have Leo’s decals for his airplane .. it’s just Loon flying solo .. no Fairweather Flyers. ?- a set is 2 decals facing 2 ways so he can fly into the wind on each side of your airplane. $11/set. The supplier (FastSigns in Asheville) has a minimum charge of $50+tax so nobody is making any side money. The images are on file at FastSigns and can be ordered any time but the minimum applies for each order.?

Our license is just for our group’s use. It can’t be assigned or sold for use outside our group.?
