I didn't think we were going to get into a semantically charged exchange ... but ... I do not believe I am any more "pedantic" about the term "FAR" than you are "obtuse" with respect to the accuracy of what I have said about that term. Indeed, I used to think that I was familiar with the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM). However, as I am apparently not as familiar with it as you are ... would you care to point out for me where it is in that manual that any reference to the term "FAR" can be found? However, in any event, as I pointed out to Island-Flyer, the accuracy of the language used is entirely up to the user. Do you have any additional questions you would care to AX?
