Stationair 8 and Rotary Man, yep I agree with you guys.
Every FOI I've ever dealt with has had his own interpretation of the Regs that they're supposed to be enforcing. This has lead in every instance to an attitude of "what I say goes", and you couldn't talk to 'em at all. None of 'em showed any interest in meaningful safety whatsoever. My favorite write-up was rusty screws in the tailcone of a C210...
So the Regs are sh!t, well glory-be, guess who's responsible for them too.
Doc (post #19), you got it right except for the "C" part...
CR.
