The sharp people at the FAA write, the lawyers edit.

The FAA will allow pilots to kill themselves in Part 91
operations, they tighten up under 121,135 commercial ops.

Me, I want to have lots of room under the belly. The 300
King Air climbs well on one engine, particularly when the
weight is less than 14,000 lbs. TOW.

But a 90 series King Air or even a 200, is under powered at
high and hot airports.

It is my policy to be able to se and avoid, or fly IFR with
margins even beyond the word in the law.
