"We're with the FAA"
"Jay Honeck" wrote in message ps.com... If you have nothing to hide & aircraft is in good condition then you should not worry about the ramp checks! That really says it all. It's a complete non-event, taking less than 2 minutes -- IF you've actually got your ducks in a row. (Well, this is a data-point of ONE ramp check in 12 years of flying. YMMV.) If not, your plane becomes a giant paper-weight, until you produce the required documents. When we were checked, the Illinois pilot in the Grumman Tiger ahead of us found that out the hard way. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" Jay, 100% correct it is a non event and did you get the message that I posted a link on my links page to www.AlexisParkInn.com check it out @ http://www.aircraftdelivery.net/links if you have a small banner fell free to e-mail it to me and I will place it on the site for ya! |

I was ramped at Columbia, SC (Ownes field?) while flying the B-24. The inspector thought she had caught me doing a no-no hauling passengers in an experimental a/c outside our letter authorizing us to operate, however I had made a stop to pickup pax at a point we were authorized from...yeah I know, confused me also. G It was a short conversation and of no consequence, even when I found that some paperwork was out of date. (another crew person had swapped an out of date WB for the current one...embarrasing but I was able to fix the problem on the spot so no foul) Although I kind of felt like I was being hunted (the inpectors were waiting for us to arrive..it was about 1730 on a Friday evening...we were the last aircraft to arrive) it wasn't a big deal overall. |

That's state law, local ordinance, or not. An FAR is just an administrative regulation of the fed gov't. Doesn't give state LEO's any police powers. Fred F. |

It's only an administrative regulation -- stating "upon request," implying the request has to be lawful under state law. Tell the cop, "I don't have one to show you." Absent state law (all have such a law), then the cop can't do anything to prevent you from operating an aircraft. Fred F. |
