You've not demonstrated anything.

I demonstrated a source that says a "Plane" is an "Airplane".

I got approval, because it seemed so gray.

Did you get it in writing? I sure hope so.


Not an old wives tale. I did it and it was legal, period.

You misunderstood my point. I believe your story. I just think that in
today's society of "sue first, ask questions later", in combination with
the amazingly folklor-ish state of aviation, if you didn't have it in
writing from your FSDO, your verbal opinion from a guy at a FSDO was woth
about as much as a verbal opinion from my 2 year old son.

I also could have taught in a multi engine airplane with no multi-
engine instructor's rating (never arose)

How so? Are you intending to imply that if one of the engines is powered
off the plane magically transforms into an ASEL?

and I know of two guys who
flew a twin with no licence whatsoever. And they broke no law. And I
can probe that the FAA had no trouble with them either.

Was there an instructor in the plane when this happened?

Fjukkwit.

Right back atchya babe...
