ADIZ Violation Explained in AOPA Magazine

Thanks to the stupid AD against allowing cigarette lighters in Cessna 150s, the lighter had been disconnected in the rental plane they flew. Without on-board power, Sheaffer left his GPS in the truck. I read the above as "thanks to the stupid decision of not having fresh batteries on his GPS receiver..." Besides, the AD doesn't forbid cigarette lighters, it gives you the choice of installing a fuse, or disconnecting it. Most rental Cessnas I came across simply disconnected it (cheaper than adding a fuse, I guess...) I haven't yet read the whole article. I guess I now have a lunch time plan. -jav
