A couple of questions about IPC
When I was a student pilot, 1967, the idea of the hand held
computer was only on StarTrek, Bill Gates was still broke and I was having to learn the regs. I was a fan of Dragnet and Sgt. Joe Friday. Whenever he would make an arrest he would say something like, "You're under arrest for violation of 187 PC" instead of murder. So just made a game out of the regs in order to memorize them. Did just fine until they renumbered them, which is much better since they are grouped rather than scattered. But it was fun to make the feds squirm when they didn't know the number until they were flipping the book looking for a question to ask. Sometimes they would even call me to ask what a regulation meant. But if I was learning to fly today, I'd certainly have a big screen PDA with a GPS and a flash card with all the FARS and charts. -- James H. Macklin ATP,CFI,A&P -- The people think the Constitution protects their rights; But government sees it as an obstacle to be overcome. some support http://www.usdoj.gov/olc/secondamendment2.htm See http://www.fija.org/ more about your rights and duties.
