Please find attached the following images documenting the rectification of the following discrepancies : • As the original e- mail was too large to send , each of the discrepancies will be send independently in three (3) e-mails. • I would be grateful if you would confirm safe receipt of all three e mail transmissions. • 1 the new fuel placards and labels, • 2 the fire extinguisher service and 3 the replacement ASI in accordance with the POH on the front passenger seat panel.

Ted’s Commentary • The FSDO were very receptive to the application and did everything they could to follow through and assist. • There were no standard forms to complete for the application which made it somewhat unique, however, simply read the regulations and submit the application using the same language in the FAR’s • Follow up on the discrepancies by e-mail was rapid and resulted in a satisfactory conclusion. • The whole idea of this rule was to allow low key (non 135 0r Scheduled airline ) passenger carrying operations (for sightseeing ) to be permitted albeit increasing the pilot hours and restrictions on private pilots. • (Remember when you had 200 hours !! I think I agree !)
Comments and Discussion Thank you Ted.
