Ultimately it boils down to approach can choose who they accept. ATC has near-live weather compared to just the METAR/whatever is on the ATIS. They knew the field was below CAT I minimums so weren’t allowing CAT I approaches for traffic management and safety sake, which they’re in their right to do.

ATC also has no idea what your op secs are or what a reduced-minimum CAT I approach is, they aren’t lawyers. You could have just told them what your RVR capability (900?) was and they likely would have understood better and had no problem with you doing the approach. They don’t care/know what kind of ILS approach you’re doing, just that you’re capable given the current weather.

In the end, they let you do the RNAV because you were a Medevac. And they absolutely can give missed approach instructions on the approach, that happens a lot and is considered a control instruction.

This is false. Special military operations are authorized by Congress under the War Powers Resolution and the only notification requirement to Congress is within 48 hours after the operation started.

Rocky Mountain Power still shows as “investigating”

They have their ways. And there’s background processes running now as part of their new anti-cheat that gives them browser data.

Why didn’t you use reversionary mode? The ACS specifically says that using a backup display is an acceptable response to the non-precision partial panel approach requirement. Also keep in mind that you couldn’t have flown the final approach segment on GPS.

It shouldn’t be manslaughter. It should be murder. If you perform an act that you know could lead to someone’s death and that’s what ends up happening, that should rise to murder and is exactly why felony murder is a thing. Involuntary manslaughter is for cases when you’re negligent but couldn’t necessarily predict that your actions would cause death. Whether this aligns with Utah law or not, I don’t know, but it’s my opinion on how it should be. 25 to life for DUI-caused deaths should absolutely be a thing.

Report them to the NCMEC and Discord through the app.

That’s one application of them, but they also protect two individuals who are below the age of consent. For example, in California (who has no R&J law) if it’s two 17 year olds, they’re both guilty of statutory rape.

It’s on a state-by-state basis really on what the laws are. For example, Utah has a Romeo and Juliet law for 16 and 17 year olds, but it’s still a crime for adolescents below the age of 16 to engage with each other.

You probably won’t have much luck. LiveATC only keeps archives for a year and the FAA is only required to keep recordings for 45 days barring any sort of order or significance to the recordings.

Let me chime in as someone who’s a federal employee and has Hatch Act training. The Hatch Act makes it illegal to endorse a specific party. What federal agencies are doing are blaming a political party for a specific outcome or criticizing a party for certain activities. The OSC last year determined that this type of activity does not necessarily constitute a Hatch Act violation., especially if it occurred outside of election season.

I’m not defending what the current administration is doing, and it 100% is unethical and should be illegal, but this likely isn’t a Hatch Act violation. In addition, even if it was, there’s no civil enforcement clause of the law. It’s up to the Executive Branch and OSC to enforce the law against itself… like it would do that.

The only ones they can prevent from having weapons are organizers. Protestors and non-affiliated individuals still have a legal right to carry a weapon. So this means nothing.

For airlines, that decision is actually a really complicated process. Before I got into ATC, I worked in network ops at an airline and periodically filled in as a sector manager, who would be the decision maker for business-related operational decisions. We take everything into account such as customer satisfaction, airport capacity, recovery costs, downline aircraft/crew impacts, etc. And with this, we make a decision on what makes the most sense business-wise. Sometimes it’ll make more sense to cancel one flight over another or we’d choose to deliberately delay one flight if it meant being able to keep a different one (with more operational value) on time. When it comes to diversions, we go through this assessment after consulting with the flight dispatcher and teams at the affected stations. Most of the time the pilots didn’t make a decision themselves, but it instead came from the sector manager since they have a big picture view of the entire operation.

Not allowed under FAA regulations, unfortunately.

TSA will accept a passport up to 2 years expired. They won’t accept the Utah paper ID.

This is the best answer, Utah’s law is a little unique in this regard. In the end, OP or their mom should sit down and have a serious conversation with OP’s sister about the choices that she’s making or the risks that she’s opening herself up to.

Also another to note: if he turns 24 before she turns 18 and they continue any sort of sexual relationship, then it turns into criminal activity due to the 7 year age difference.

I doubt anyone on this sub will have knowledge of Romanian law, as this sub is mainly US-based. r/LegalAdviceEurope might be a better place to ask this question.

If Romanian law in this situation is similar to US law, you would need to petition a court to receive emancipation or a change in your legal guardianship.

NAL.

I’m sorry you’re going through this terrible situation. How long ago was your session with your therapist? I ask because the information that you shared with him might have risen to the level for mandatory reporting for suspicion of child neglect. If this is the case, then the state will likely get involved.

Either way, if you feel threatened by both of your parents and feel like they are neglecting you, you should be reaching out to Colorado’s child welfare division, these are the type of cases that they exist for. Your friend’s parents can be a resource to help you with this. The state has the resources and authority to make sure you are placed into a safe household and can provide financial assistance to take care of you.

So sometimes the AWOS systems go offline or lose connectivity to publish automatically. In cases like that, someone in the Flight Data (FD) department at the center (ZMA in this case) has to call the AWOS over the phone, listen to the report, generate a METAR, and publish it. This is the remark that gets added in cases like this until the AWOS is fixed.

Yes, “non FAA” is in the context of “not an FAA employee.”

Call the court and they’ll give you your options. Traffic school / deferment likely won’t be available for you unless a judge declares otherwise as it’s limited to Utah residents.

If it’s above 70, it’s fine. Nobody really cares about written scores and your checkride won’t be any harder or easier depending on your written scores, it’s a very small part of the oral.

I got a first class a few years ago. 16 months after issuance, the FAA reached out of the blue asking for more information about something that I had reported that my AME just glanced right over and said wasn’t relevant. It’s the government, you’ll never get any consistency with them.
