ignition override
(by the way, is your name one of the old first commands after an engine failure in one of my favorite planes?)
I tend to agree with you about the FAA and would add how Canadians knew about problems with F28's in icing conditions and the FAA didn't bother to let us know in time to prevent a crash at lga.
And I have seen some odd taxi lines too...and sometimes you just have to stop and have a "wing walker" to make sure your wing will clear all those improperly stored bits and pieces around the airport.
I am reminded of our brothers at the railroad...trains on seperate tracks are not supposed to hit each other as they go past each other...but they do under certain bizare circumstances like speed, wind and the like.
