This thread title always has me wondering about marriage special issuances.

I have an "Upright Lift" which will sit on fairly flat ground and lift you up on a platform 24' in the air. I bought it to change the lights in my hangar (17' above the floor) but it does get loaned out around the neighborhood. It's currently sitting in another neighbor's hangar. I'd love...

Perhaps not. He showed up high for his COGSCREEN.

Being pilot in command has never been a necessary nor sufficient condition to log PIC. 61.51(e)(1)(i) only requires a category and class rating to log Aircam time as the sole manipulator of the controls.

And doesn't make it any more acceptable to use (with or without a prescription) while flying.

It is the view held by the FAA. It matters not what "we" think here. He used a prohibited substance and he continued to use it while doing his neuropsych examination when he was told that not only were psychoactive drugs PROHIBITED but that he would be tested for them. He also lied on his...

He can't be certified if he is a marijuana user (no matter what excuse he invents). He can try again in two years. He will have to repeat the neuropsych. He was required to have disclosed that use on his application, so if they let him get this far either he lied or his AME is incompetent.

When I ask about me it makes me sound much better than I actually am: Ron Natalie is a notable figure in the world of computer networking and software engineering. He has been involved in various significant projects throughout his career. Notably, he was one of the key developers of the BSD...

Margy wanted me to replace all our exterior flood lights with Ring spotlight cams. The ones on the hangar in particular are 25' up in the air over irregular ground. I rented a boom lift. Made easy work out of the job.

NyetJets again?

The problem is proving it to the level of a criminal conviction. First off, the NTSB conclusions aren't evidence and even much of the data they collected is barred from being used. Of course, if the Winnebago DA wanted to pursue it he could reinterview the witnesses, etc...

And the FAA is unconcerned about guilt or innocence here. They want to know if the expunged, deferred, rescinded, or whatever event was the result of undoing an operating while intoxicated event to trigger their investigation. The legal status is irrelevant. In some states you can bury a...

It was also in the report, and this was told me the day this event happened, that the pilot in question was told to STOP doing these 360 spirals the day before.

You don't get EFCs if there's no clearance limit. A proceed direct or vector isn't a new clearance limit. It's merely a transient change to your route.

You have to report it. Obtain the records that show why it was suspended. A non-DUI related offense will not amount to much of an impediment.
