cloud - sorry to disappoint thy airworthiness with my lack of knowledge on the issue. I admit I am not as versed as some, like yourself on this issue. Some of the applicants were asking questions on the issue and rightfully so. Due to the lack of self proclaimed experts posting, I and a few others tried to answer their questions with honesty. When zoooropa and bulldog offered different perspective and even corrections to my interpretation it was appreciated. I find the IMSL ruling extremely complicated. When I view the issue I try to see it at different angles not only through the focus of my desire. Question my employment if you wish, I could care less. I will make you a deal - I will choose a different venue to "fill my memory gaps" if you will post some useful information to help a fellow pilot try to take the next step at our company.
