Definition of FARs

[Tupac]

Thought about flying today, called the AWOS, winds were 170 @8 (straight down the runway) looked at aviationweather.gov, and they gave a good forecast aswell. As soon as I got out the the airport, they were 230 @18 peak gusts 26, so I went inside the FBO to get a coke before I headed back home, and I heard a student (on his second lesson) ask what the FARs stood for. The CFI thought about for a second, and responded "The FARs are a publication that puts you to sleep while reading on the toilet!"

He then went on to explain that only a small part of the FARs pertain to private pilots.

I just thought I would share, and I know some of you will get a giggle out of this.

My CFI introduced FAR to me as a list of all the ways you can get yourself into trouble whilst flying, whilst AIM was all the ways to stay out of trouble

What can we say, it's hard to fly a slim plane with an ENY of 32.
