Title: FAA Box for mail
Post by: MachFly on February 01, 2011, 09:42:31 PM

I have a box which says the following on all sides in large bold letters:

U.S. GOVERNMENT
CHARTS / PUBLICATIONS
CRITICAL TO NAVIGATION SAFETY
DO NOT DELAY

Would I have any problems if I use it to mail my personal stuff?

Just cross it out with a sharpie or wrap it in brown paper.

I imagine your subscription of approach charts showed up in this box so you know where it came from.

The thing is that I like that sign, it might help my mail get delivered faster.

Yep, just got my charts.

Not really.  The USPS is absolutely terrible getting our Jeppview discs to us on time and they're just sent to a PO Box.  I ended up having 5 updates in a row (five) show up late at the end of 2010.  That's 2-1/2 months the discs were not here on time to do the revision of the EFBs on my airplane.  That labeling doesn't do anything for you.  :bhead
