Heater/A.C. question

Wrong, the FAA is government, not civilian. Get a clue, guy, and realize you're not winning this point.

Read my other post which quotes the faa.gov site on terminology.

That is dumbed-down for the general public, like you. Remember how you were confused by "certificated", as if it weren't in the English language?

Look at this: "Do I need a license to be an aircraft mechanic? Not necessarily." License? They use the word "certificate" all over the place, but ease the reader into the topic by first using "license" because that's the word everyone's comfortable with.

And this: "Do I have to take any tests to become a certified mechanic? Yes. You have to take both oral and practical tests." Hmm, they forgot the WRITTEN test! You need to pass that before an Examiner will even waste his time on you with the Oral and Practical.

The FAA themselves used "FAR" forever to refer to "Federal Aviation Regulation". That's what everyone in aviation learned, and knew. I think the FAA finally lost an enforcement action in court when a clever lawyer realized that FARs don't, and never, existed. Now they're "CFR"s, Code of Federal Regulations.

My September issue of AOPA Pilot came yesterday. HANGARTALK, Page 6...

Regular readers may have picked up on the fact that Managing Editor Julie Summers Walker is not a certificated pilot.

Do we have a military government?

You may want to ask someone skilled in the English for clarify that for you.

Who brought in the military?

You realize that the Q&A format on that page presents typical questions from regular folks, right? No specialized knowledge required to ask questions, because the readers obviously aren't up to it yet.

I'll show you the term "certificated mechanic" used by the FAA.

Begin here:

A link labeled *Current Federal Aviation Regulations* goes to

Click it.

Next, in the "Browse Part" column, click the link labeled *60-109* and you'll arrive at

Now click the link labeled *65* in the "Part" column. You'll arrive at

Scroll down to "Subpart D---Mechanics", click that link. Read 65.71 Eligibility Requirements: General (b)"A certificated mechanic who applies for an additional rating must meet the requirements of §65.77 and, within a period of 24 months, pass the tests prescribed by §§65.75 and 65.79 for the additional rating sought."

Games over, Petey. I won.

I saw the baby page you quoted.

Read the regulations.

That was hilarious! Budd help you with it?

Budd did. Are you lost?

Petey:

Q. What is a mechanic job like?

A. Well Petey, you might have to work outside, and the noise level can be real loud and scary.

Following the rule of Usenet... When proven wrong, morph, and then insult the winner! Yep, clearly what's happened here.

Anyway, I'm wasting my time with anyone but Budd, so this is the end of this thread for me.

stamp your little feet and walk off.

So long, Petey.

Ignore the troll, Pete.

Go back over this thread, Bubb, and see where the very first personal attack, the first hostile post, came from.

Will you have the integrity to report back what you find? I say No, you won't do it.

Based on your comments, I doubt you even understood my comments.

Aircraft that operate in the flight levels use positive pressure air pumps to power their gyro instruments, NOT vacuum pumps. You don't know why, do you?

Most small airplanes use vacuum pumps to power gyro instruments, NOT positive pressure pumps. You don't know why, do you?

I have absolutely no clue.

Hint: Long/sort I'm a retired engineer that at one time worked for NASA. Where I managed system design for navigation, instrumentation and flight systems.

None of that matters as like I said based strictly on what you've posed I'm very happy you're not working on my bird.

WOW. My questions should be *extremely* easy for someone with your background, they're within your field of expertise. But you have absolutely no clue.

But it does matter. How would you ever choose a mechanic? What's important to you?

NotMe:

I'm sure you picked up your nickname at NASA.

Who knows why... ? Not me.

Can someone figure out how... ? Not me.

Is anyone able to... ? Not me.
