This is NOT TRUE! For that matter, you can tell your IA that there is NOT ONE airplane registered in this country that has the numbers painted on properly. If he will read the FAR pertaining to numbers, he will find that it reads "All numbers with be painted on the aircraft in a ROMAN TYPE FACE! Every airplane in the country is painted with a "Sans Serif" type face! To define the different type faces, all Roman Type faces have a "serif". Meaning there is a foot at the base and an extension on the letter such as the "T". A Sans Serif type (sans comes from the Latin word meaning "NO") does not have a serif at all.I am a retired printer and I do know type faces! You can also tell him to read more thoroughly and he will find that any U.S. registered aircraft that flies (I believe under 250 kts.) that is over 30 years old can display numbers as small as 3" high on both sides of the fuselage or on the rudder. I have 3.5" inch numbers on my rudders and it has passed every annual for the last 10 years! If he cannot find the information I described, let me know and I will go to the hangar and look up the page numbers where he can find it.
