    It’s running fine. Because borescope is only way to really know the health / condition of valves.

    Citizen verification documents (Part 1552.3h)

    My flight school requires a passport AND government issued photo ID to demonstrate U.S. citizenship. The way I read 49 CFR Part 1552.3(h) is only ONE of the listed items is needed to show proof of citizenship. Am I wrong? I cannot find an TSA interpretation on the matter, but I have found...
