Default Errors accessing FAA's Pilotweb

A real pilot would not use FAA's pilot web to learn about TFRs and
NOTAMs as part of an official weather briefing (verbal or electronic),
which is the only one that counts.

A real pilot or any other normal rational individual could care less about
you and your computer, since you are not a pilot and have no need to know
about TFRs.


My computer is not the one he needs to access to learn about TFRs and NOTAMs.
The one he needs to access is the one with the problem.

Real pilots use it all the time, and that is its main purpose, which is why
the site is secured with SSL.

Obviously, good pilots will draw information from multiple sources and will
not skip briefings, but pilots definitely use the Web as one of those sources,
particularly for preliminary planning.

However, in your case you are not a good pilot, and not a pilot at all, so
you have no idea what good pilots can or should do. And, why was it you were
banned from the Leica forums?

He probably claimed his Instamatic 110 was just like the Leicas, and
demanded to know "Exactly how are they different"

Or he claimed anyone who thought differently were just "angry young men."

Don't forget they had a treehouse too.

I wonder if he was a fat little kid who couldn't climb the ladder. He seems
to really dispise treehouses.

Wrong again.

Most pilots use http://tfr.faa.gov/tfr2/list.html to get TFRs and
DUATS or similar for NOTAMS.

Your comment about SSL is just plain silly.

Why would the FAA maintain a site for pilots if pilots didn't visit it? Why
would it make it a secure site?

You haven't a clue what real pilots use and why and apparently no clue
on what it is that SSL secures.

The first is understandable and the second is no surprise.

The SITE is the NAIMES web site, which is where all the NAIMES information
comes from.

Most pilots would not use the PAGE of the web site you refenced because
it is awkward to use for most purposes and the same information is
available elsewhere in easier to use formats.

There is no reason for the PAGE to be served as HTTPS unless other units
of the FAA are using that PAGE for access to traceably valid data, which
pilots do not.
