And where is it you are from which makes you so intelligent. Also if you think that were all so stupid why do you even associate with us. I wonder what made this such a great country with all of these stupid people around. Why do we guard our borders maybe we should open them up and let more intelligent beings in?

The above is a sad statement on America isn't it? "Dr. B." Do you work for the FAA/Government? It sounds to me like you do, you imply that the American people are to stupid" to take care of them selves and need the government to "take care of them" or better yet it takes a villege- When "political correctness dies" and the truth means more than a sound bite, or a contribution... maybe... In American politics it doesnt get any better than that." The FAA like the IRS is there to help, assist and advise...All there work is like progress, not all bad...not all good. We are stuck with it eather way. Robert Q. Steinman, Ph.D. Read the FAA creed PR is there.

FAA knows that if it werent for GA theyd be a backwater bureau in a do-nothing Agency. Changes in the performance envelopes and configurations of commercial aircraft, and consequent changes in the aviation infrastructure of airports and electronic nav gadgets proceed glacially, requiring urgent review about every ten years and certainly does NOT require constant oversight by thousands of busy bureaucratic minions. However, we do. GA is so varied, so ebullient, so volatile, that we need an FAA to keep everything in line. Consider the alternative, that non-pilots would dictate regulations, or that people like we on this forum would self-police, and that ought REALLY to scare you. Lets hear it for our FAA, the only public relations firm par excellence, with teeth. At least they listen to us. Well, ok, they listen to our muscle AOPA, EAA. In American politics it doesnt get any better than that. Dr. R.

Bill Watson wrote (tongue in cheek): I have found that most if not all FAA actions can be best described as the FAA is a Public Relations firm for flying in the US. If anybody causes bad PR, they will read their rules absurdely to bust you. If you do not cause bad PR (police reports, civillian complaints, etc) they will happily let you go about your business. If you cause good PR, you can be given get out of jail free cards. It is all about the PR. Im wondering if maybe Bill hit the nail on the head.
