Blog Purpose
There are a lot of things in the FARs that I have a hard time remembering and a lot that I find confusing at first glance. I figured that if I have trouble others might too so I’ve collected my thoughts here. There are lots of things that I find interesting that appear here as well.
In general, if I quote from a FAR I’ll put it in italics along with a reference to the section, unless I’m quoting long sections. If I paraphrase i’ll just put the section number. I’ll often leave out parts that don’t apply to the topic, e.g. rules specific to gliders, or rules for ATPs. I’ll indicate missing text with an ellipsis, …. In general, I’ll indicate text that is quoted or paraphrased by citing the source if it is important, but for many things, like the rules for assigning N-Numbers, I’ll quote or rephrase things from the FAR’s, FAA Web site, or other government publications without attribution. It should be obvious from the context where I got the information if you want to verify things for yourself. If I quote from another web site or book, I’ll always indicate the source and put the quoted text in italics or quote marks.
