Oh, and in another interesting turn of events ...

So after I got the email response from FAA yesterday, I put it in an email from one of my personal accounts (Account A) and sent it to Chad, Dear Leader, and the rest of the knights of the Taj-Muncie round table. I noted something like "after Andy posted a statement on RCG, I decided to ask FAA .... here's their answer." I think I ended by saying something like "Now you cannot say you didn't know."

Next thing I know I'm getting an email from Andy, copy Chad, Dear Leader, and the rest that appends my email after his. However in his zest to justify his actions before his peers, he introduced two new challenges: (1) by appending my email in his reply, to a completely different email address than the one from which above was sent, he confirmed that the email above was indeed received. And (2), he included his official email signature block stating his title and position in AMA, and thus was speaking in his official capacity.

So here's an EC member, speaking in his official capacity to me (and other EC members in their official capacities) acknowledging (because it was appended in Andys) the FAA's answer with respect to lateral limits of FRIAs.

Yet another example of an EC with minds for checkers trying to play chess. No wonder all the industry stakeholders and agencies roll AMA so often!
