So funny
I read the FARS and have a copy of the FAR AIM and it is not "my view". Maybe you should read it too bose to stop you sprouting so much bull!!!!!
With regards to DPEs - well sometimes their view is also open to interpretation, I grant you - I suppose whatever suits them best and makes their life easy. The one who has the
