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!

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

Good report, Jay. This FAA guy was probably Mike Halloran. He's the safety program manager at the
Scottsdale FSDO. I flew down to Copperstate yesterday and saw him there working the booth, but didn't
visit with him. I've heard him speak at other local meetings, and I agree - he's a good communicator and
honestly interested in aviation and aviation safety.

Hi Mike,

Yes indeed it was Mr Halloran.

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.
