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. The AD didn't make the lighter illegal. Cessna in their infinite wisdom didn't put any circuit protection on the lighter so it was quite possible to start a fire and never pop a breaker. The AD gave you a choice. Either disconnect the lighter or put in a breaker. Thanks for the correction. I can't believe people would be so penny-wise and pound-foolish. On the other hand, the decision to disconnect the lighter was probably made before the advent of all these hand-held, battery-operated devices. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
