Doubtful that I will need these services anytime soon, but this was still a super interesting episode nonetheless. Lots of great information here. Thanks again as always, Dan and Christy!
Brilliant interview, very interesting! I was under investigation once for a runway incursion. Only issue it was at an airport I had never visited, in an aircraft I'm not rated on.😮Luckily common sense prevailed as they accepted it wasn't me ,so didn't need a lawyer thank goodness!
Great program folks. If you haven’t done a show on Swift Fuels please do. It would be great to have on site at the private airport where I keep my aircraft. Thanks
@@TakingOff Thanks, I look forward to watching. I fly out of a small aviation community and think Swift would be a great option for many reasons. I fly a Rotax 912 but most of the folks on the field fly the more conventional engines and worry about the STC. I would love to show them a video about what I understand is a fairly simple and inexpensive Swift helps with. Maybe I misunderstand what I read on their website because it seems like too good to be true. Ken
I haven't watched the video you, but when Dan says 'Do you need to consult with a lawyer' my answer is Yes, EXCEPT IF YOU"RE BRYAN TURNER!' LOL Now, let's go watch the video.
This makes me seriously consider getting AOPA's legal services so I can ask an aviation attorney all those FAR clarification questions which I keep asking EAA and my local FSDO and getting no response.
You have a base level with just your AOPA membership. It might cover questions. I pay the higher one because having been called to the FSDO, it's totally worth it.
Are ya'll familiar with Pilots N Paws that Patty Wagstaff supports. Recently, I heard the Feds have allowed a certain amount of the cost, even though it is purely a 91 op and volunteer, to be taken off a volunteers taxes as charitable contributions which if you do it enough could be significant. I am a retired major airline pilot and am thinking of doing some of this. Is it possible to ask Greg Reigal if he has any insight. I was going to do it anyway but it would be nice to have that perk.
How could the FAA investigate without a name? "some guy flying my airplane inverted" doesn't give much information, eh? Providing a name on a public forum is inappropriate in ANY situation. Between the owner and the idiot that took pics and video to brag to his buddies.
i like your content but you guys keep dragging this out. someone made a real bad judgement but let it go... I am glad you asked this attorney, he is right on.
Since Christy's experience with her aircraft, it was enough for us as a family to decide to take our aircraft out of the rental pool for our club. She did the right thing by passing this through straight to the FAA. However in my mind the person taking a rental aircraft and operating it "DELIBERATELY" outside of parameters is not someone to waste time money and resource in an attempt to "bring them back to compliance" I have buried too many friends through aviation accidents & seen too many good people in the aviation community lost to pure dumb bad luck. This person has no place in any part of our airspace or community
Waist of time... Govt has more money than you snd can litigate to oblivion!!! And now more punitive than ever, like the IRS. I recieved one of those letters; they required a flight ckeck to retain my privliges.... 1 hr flight time for the test. Was lucky that time... Maje sure you never have another....
Just don't call AOPA, they're an inane waste of time. I tried to consult with them several times and got nothing but run-around and half-correct information.
That wasn't my experience. I've used them twice and each time they were very responsive and very helpful. I know make sure I have the added level of legal services in my AOPA membership.
Two days in a row, can't get much better that this! Great subject matter and useful information, tks guys.
Who needs lawyers!!!??? (Quietly writes down Greg’s information ) thanks guys great info.
Thank you, and a big thanks to Greg.

Great episode Dan and Christy. Very informative and helpful. Keep em coming. As always, I love the channel and appreciate what y'all do. 🤘🇺🇸🛩️

We do have a fuel episode in the van coming soon.

This was extremely interesting to watch.
Great show!
I'm not an attorney, but common sense has taught me to be very careful about posting anything about my flying on social media.
Yes because the state wants to kno all ...
@@mikearakelian6368 More like: The Karens are EVERYWHERE.
I could care less about privacy. You give that up when you post on a public forum. It's more about common sense and not saying something dumb.
Another great video, guys - thank you!
Good episode! Very informative.
Excellent information. The basic fact is that with the FAA you are guilty until proven innocent.
Thanks for sharing.
Why all lawyers look alike? NO matter who they represent 🤣🤣
Great episode btw
Very nice episode.

PPS is worth the extra money... you should get it. Having access to information is always a helpful thing.

Aviation law may be good, but the real money is in bird law!
Good episode, I’d like him in my corner, check out his boots, I’ll bet as an attorney he kicks butt!
So I’m guessing you did release the name of person to the FAA, when it was talked about in this episode that you did not give up his name!
Correct

you gotta hope the ground doesnt get in your way of learning a lesson
Well said.
I like your format. But you did not answer the question your title suggests which is 'when do you need a lawyer'.
Anytime enforcement action is happening to you and if you are setting up a partnership to buy a plane, etc
Did Greg ever go back and finish getting his pilot certificate??
Imagine being known as the guy/gal who flew Christie's plane inverted. That would not exactly endear yourself to a section of the aviation community.
I don’t think anyone really cares.
Can I go down to my local FBO and put on the bulletin board I'm looking for a flight instructor with a plane
Absolutely
So what if Christy's aerobatic pilot just tells the FAA he hit some wake turbulence ? 🤷😆
He posted videos and pictures of his stunts.
The FAA loves RUclips
*Harrison ford taking notes furiously*
Funny!
🤣
"I doubt you will get over it".
I like his boots
I had the Right to remain silent.........But not the Ability!
Nice Ron White reference....tater salad....
@@f14flyer11 Yep!
I was THROWN out of the FSDO!
i like your content but you guys keep dragging this out. someone made a real bad judgement but let it go... I am glad you asked this attorney, he is right on.
Amen! I use to like this channel, until they they went all wacko on this one topic.
Agreed... time to move on
Keep us posted. What do you think will happen to the Las Vegas Bravo Buster?
My military lawyer is $400 an hour.

If you were invited to do a 44709 ride, you did something the FAA decided warranted re-examination.
Yes, now there after my RC B 17....

This discussion sounds a lot how the law is handled in California
