In Marty's defense, if it needed one, the FAA only cares about its exposure to the public's safety, in the air and on the ground. If you are private single-pilot, the FAA is pretty hands off as far as the "air part". But, wreckage raining down on the public is a major concern for them. If you doubt this, try working a regulatory change involving private ops and the conversation rapidly moves to "impact on public safety". The reason you can fly an F-15 around in all weather is because the military assumes the responsibility for the damage to the public.

zero1,. To be pedantic, twin-engine fighters, four-engine and even eight-engine bombers have bang seats to solve the pilots' aerial problems and hand it off the problem to the first responders.
