PROPOSED FEDERAL AVIATION REGULATION ACT

1000.A No pilot or pilots, or person or persons acting on the direction or suggestion or supervision of the pilot or pilots may try, or attempt to try or make or make attempt to try to comprehend or understand any or all, in whole or in part of the herein mentioned Federal Aviation Regulations, except as authorized by the Administrator or an agent appointed by, or inspected by the Administrator.

1000.B If the pilot, or group of associated pilots becomes aware of, or realizes, or detects, or discovers or finds that he, or she, or they, are or have been beginning to understand the Federal Aviation Regulations, they must immediately, within three (3) days notify, in writing, the Administrator.

1000.C Upon receipt of the above mentioned notice of impending comprehension, the Administrator will immediately rewrite the Federal Aviation Regulations in such a manner as to eliminate any further comprehension hazards.

1000.D The Administrator may, at his or her option, require the offending pilot, or pilots, to attend remedial instruction in Federal Aviation Regulations until such time that the pilot is too confused to be capable of understanding anything.
 
THANK YOU! I've spent all morning going through the FARs looking for answers on check airmen and such, and that is how I feel. It would be a crime to comprehend ANYTHING!!

Thanks for a good laugh!
 
Isn't almost like the FAR's were written by lawyers for lawyers? Commercial pilots usually aren't lawyers.
 
Probably . . . .

But they nearly need to be. Reading and analyzing laws and statutes is something lawyers and paralegals spend a great deal of time learning. Perhaps that's why we have so many debates and discussions on regs interpretation. It just about takes a lawyer to decipher the language.

After I started paralegal school, I was surprised at how much transferable skill I had acquired from reading FARs. My doctor, astute man that he is, noted after I started paralegal school that I already had spent years with my nose buried in manuals and regulation books.

Pilots are really sent out on their own with no formal training for reading and analyzing regs. They should be given such training.
 
Why bother! Even the FAA lawyers do not understand them. Look at all the differing opinions they issue.
