Pilot's Bill of Rights

[Old Geek]

To anyone involved in FAA enforcement, has it made any difference?

My hangar neighbor is a lawyer here in SRFA-land. Just one data point but for the last few years he was 100% booked doing aviation law, mostly people clipping the SFRA. His business is off drastically since the PBOR and he's had to go back to about half corporate law. Not sure if it's a temporary reduction while the enforcers figure out the new paperwork, but with the idea that the cases at least may go to a real court it seems that they are being looked at more closely and many are not surviving the scrutiny.

........either that or people have suddenly learned to stay farther away from the line...

Something of interest to pilots. And one more form to sign during checkrides.

And a box to check for a medical application.

I'm sure a box will get added to the IACRA 8710 but wasn't there yet in March when my last student's checkride occurred, so the DPE had a fifth-generation photocopy of a form he had to sign.
