First..since WHEN do pilots need to have a LAW degree??
the FAA is terrible, to pilots...only lawyers win now look at the back pedaling the FAA is doing--when it's directly their fault as well as that sleeping controller...read AOPA and look at how the enforcement actions go...with controllers it's a different story they are retrained no matter how bad they screw up---I think the main precedent for the landing is right there in FAR 91.3, ...but the FAA always sees differently
what would YOU
LSM have done differently?--as it is always easier to fly some one else's plane from the comfort of home----remembering that the general airspace is a mess and DCA was most likely their clearance limit they arrived on time and lost coms so they had clearance...no?
I just hope the FAA lays blame where it reallybelongs...upon themselves
