Keep your speed up.

Do witches have to follow the 250 knot speed limit? Do broomsticks have to be registered with the FAA?

In order to maintain airspeed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty three times every second...

Hmmm is incorrect. Controllers do not have authority to waive the 250 knot speed restriction, except where expressly authorized by the administrator. It is not at the discretion of any individual controller.

A controller who provides a verbal clearance to exceed this speed retriction is not authorized to do so, and following this clearance does not protect one from enforcement action. Following Hmmm's advice can lead to unpleasant certificate action.

One must assume that Hmmm is a flamer, else he understands very little of the regulation, and it's attendant legal interpretation.

I also represent the administrator, and have NO authority to interpret the regulation, nor in any way to authorize deviation from the regulation. Go figure.

We asked an AZO radar controller and this person said..."if it prevents a situation from developing (ex. an aircraft slowing its rate of decent at 10000 to slow down below 250 could have potential conflicting traffic if the rate of decent is slowed for too long) then they will do it."

FAR's or not I'd bet lots of controllers use this often.

AHHH, but is that an African Swallow, or a European Swallow???

Broomsticks are considered experimental, right?

witches on broomsticks

Nope! Witches are in the same catagory as deadly weapons. Same as my 7mm Remington magnum caliber deer rifle. Muzzle velocity at five feet AGL is over 3000 feet per second. Never had the FAA warn me about that.
