Some instructors, some clubs, and some FBO may well cease to operate
because of this rule. Why? How great is the burden of photocopying documents provided by students? |

From an outsiders point of view it looks like the terrorists have won a
significant victory if the US reaction is to clamp down so hard and make life more difficult for the everyday citizen. The difficulty is that politicians have to be seen to be doing something. It wont affect the terrorists one iota but it appears to be taking a tough line. Preserve us from our lords and Masters |

I agree Roger, how great indeed. We CFI's are currently required to keep records of all instruction we give to each named individual. LL |

...We CFI's are currently required to keep records of all instruction we give to each named individual. In the U.S. instructors only need to maintain a record of test recommendations, solo endorsements, and pre-solo written tests. During my initial instructor exam the inspector asked me "are you required to log each lesson given in your log book"? My answer was "No, but I think it's a pretty good idea". The inspector responded with a vigorous nod of the head. See FAR 61.189 Tony V. |

About 10% of my students are (were) resident aliens. Already one stopped training with me, decided against buying an airplane because apparently he couldn't be on the registration as a foriegn national, and now he has returned to New Zealand. Beyond that, I used to give away logbooks with a dual entry to everyone I took on a "first ride." I had about 20-30% success recruiting "walk-in" students this way. I don;t recall any of these walk-ins having the ID the changes require on their first "ride." There's also a simple lack of confidence inspired. If I were a resident alien, I would be very suspicious of the possibility of future "improvements" to security, which may effectively revoke my $5,000+ pilot's license. Any freshman economics textbook dicusses the "velocity of money." Essentially, it means that a 10% reduction in sales has an amplified effect greater than 10%. This is the part about the FBOs going out of business... As if the proposed MOA and ATCAA near my own home gliderport weren't enough to shut us down on it's own... -- ------------+ Mark J. Boyd |

In all of these requirements, I've never before read of one that required copying anything before this. All of my recordkeeping requirements before this involved only a pen and paper. And all of my students could begin flight training immediately, and in the buff if they so desired. Woulda been a great scene in "Team America," eh? F**k Yeah! Just my $1.05 -- ------------+ Mark J.

Suppose I (A Canadian) visited a commercial operation in the USA and
required a checkflight to rent their Ventus. Could the new regs interpret a checkflight as "training"? -- Tony Burton |

(a) A flight instructor must sign the logbook of each person to whom that instructor has given flight training or ground training. I have a bunch of white labels (stickers) that I use, and write out the entry with the pilot's name, and give it to them to put in their logbook (if they didn't bring a logbook with them). For brand new pilots, I give them a new logbook (about $3 each as I get them in bulk). -- ------------+ Mark J. Boyd |
