I believe that this will be an exemption and not a rule change. I think this means it will not have to go through the normal rule-making process. It will also mean that it will be easier for the FAA to withdraw the exemption if they feel it is necessary. The 50nm restriction on RP is not very onerou...

I think the physical for CDL (commercial driver's license) would work fine for 3rd class. The requirements are much less stringent and I believe waivers and exemptions are much easier to get. In all honesty if you can't pass the CDL maybe you really shouldn't be flying. The system is in place and ru...

While in EMS I saw the 12ga shotgun remove limbs, liquefy internal organs and practically decapitate the individuals it was used against. It was the most devastating close range weapon I saw in use.
