A Brief Conversation With The FAA (A "Chat Rep")

I think
that if the FAA works on convincing pilots that their reports won't be
used against them, they'll get more and better reports.

.... and I think part of that has to do with other, unrelated ways the
FAA works against us. For example, "logging time" is compensation (my
pet peeve of the month). It is these kinds of things that work against
airmen's respect for the FAA, and respect for the FAA is vital to making
the above suggestion work.

airplanes don't have turn signals or fog lights.

What??? I paid extra for that option!

One thing I've noticed the past 6 months in the Denver area is the
increasing number of safety/informative offerings by the FSDO.
Seems like there's one every other week. The one this weekend has
a speaker from the USAF Academy about mid-air collisions - mostly
explaining where the zoomies fly and that they aren't listening to
the same people we are! (Which annoys the **** out of me, as I'm
one of those who almost had metal-to-plastic instrusion. I'm talking
to Class C COS, as required, but the zoomies aint!)

So what frequency are they on when they overfly Meadowlake airport
(00V)? When wil they hold such a forum at 00V where the USAFA Katanas
overfly nearly every day.

Ron:

If you haven't gotten the notice from the FSDO, it's this Saturday
morning at FTG. If you can't make it, call the USAFA Flight Club
and ask them for a copy of their SOP. It's *not* the one the
cadets use, it's for the flight club there, but it has ALL the
freqs that everyone there uses, the various departure & arrival
procedures that both the cadets and the flight club use, and
great graphics that describe the cadets' training areas.

I lost mine, or I'd send you a copy.

No, but oddly, that same slogan seems to be faintly visible on my front
bumper, as a mirror image.

Just a comment on FAA Safety Seminars: I attended some in the past, but
in recent years have lived in places where none have been offered
within a reasonable distance. The FAA needs to find a better way of
making this material available to the flying public. Web videos?

Here's a couple of good sites:

http://faasafety.gov/gslac/ALC/default.aspx
http://www.aopa.org/asf/

Both contain much information on flying more safely.

In my experience, the FAA is a lot like Congress. Many people ridicule
Congress as a group, and most think they're not doing enough/doing too
much/doing the wrong things -- but, by golly, everyone thinks *their*
Congressman is great.

Not me. The congresscritters from Taxachusetts all ---- (expletive
