[TXAirHopper]

Just a little FYI... Got the rumor the FAA will be amping up ramp checks at GA FBOs starting this weekend.

DEMAND? Be careful, might be better to request.

I was met by 5 FAA representatives this week when I landed my little 'ole 172 at KRNT this week. I get the impression the 4 of them were being trained/shown the ropes by one guy who seemed to be in charge and was explaining what he was looking for while he was going through my credentials.

The FAA is nothing compared to a JAA French "cavity" search SAFA check .............bring it on!

Big deal, make sure all your paperwork is in order, basic ARROW stuff you learned in private pilot training.

What's a "110?"

FAA Form 110A -- his Aviation Safety Inspector credential.

Wow, just got a ramp check in Istanbul. My aircraft has a Cayman (VP) registration. Inspectors were interested in making sure that crew had proper validations and that aircraft documents reflected the new registration. One of our docs had our old FAA (N) registration so we had a minor delay. Not a bad experience, now that it is over.

Be safe out there guys

ARROW ..... That is it. And no you may not board the aircraft unless you suspect a problem. Beyond that, no need to entertain them.
