Interested folks need to read Mr. Sheaffer's issued statement, reported on AVWEB and AOPA.... denny Mr. Sheaffer's statement was issued by his attorney (not a bad idea) and should be taken with a LARGE amount of skepticism. |

AOPA has said that Sheaffer is not an instructor, if correct Troy Martin was not "his student" he was merely a passenger (legally anyway) Right, "a student" not "his student" would be a more appropriate word. |

keep in mind this is an "Emergency Revocation". The pilot involved still is entitled to his due process, and the action MAY (we are talking hypothetically, here) be overturned at the completion of that due process. There is NO due process in FAA actions, emergency or otherwise. |

I agree that this guy's ticket is gone gone gone... but my point is... before we lynch the fella, we are going to ensure he has a fair trial. He has not had that yet. Dave Nobody gets a fair trial before the FAA. You have to spend years and mucho dollars before you ever get to a real judge. |

* FAR 99.7. Operated the aircraft in an air defense identification zone (ADIZ) without complying with special security instructions issued by the administrator in the interest of national security and that are consistent with appropriate agreements between the FAA and the Department of Defense. I can't see how 99.7 applies here. The DC Area ADIZ doeesn't meet the applicability standards of Part 99 despite the fact that it shares the acronym with the airspace of that part. |

.. The guy sure did screw up. But at what point was "the life or property of another" endangered as a direct result of his actions? If he had been shot down over DC it would have been dangerous to those on the ground :-) They could also write him up for failure to maintain a safe altitude over a congested area as well. |

"George Patterson" wrote in message "In an effort to be extra careful, and wishing to avoid the restricted area of Camp David during our flight, we over compensated by taking a more than anticipated southerly route, which consequently caused us to infringe upon the Washington, D.C., restricted zones," said part of the statement. Incredible!!! Amazing!! I'm surprised the guy can make coffee. |

"Mike Granby" wrote in message ups.com... Sheaffer has hired an attorney, Mark T. McDermott, a principal in the Washington, D.C., law firm of Joseph, McDermott and Reiner, to represent him. In a written statement, Sheaffer claimed that he prepared for the flight properly by checking weather and temporary flight restrictions and conducted a thorough preflight. Great. So not only has he screw himself re his ticket, he's now about to **** all his money away on high-price attornies and a useless fight. Quite so. His statement that he checked all this from his home PC where there is no audit history doesn't hold up. |
