    Are those the badges from the original airport check point police?

    When is criminal law necessary for aviation safety?

    The “emotional appeals” are only on the congressional side. If you can figure out a way to make that process less emotional you would a hero. Unfortunately, there have been a number of aviation statutes created by emotional congressional members. The rulemaking or regulatory side is a robust...

    When is criminal law necessary for aviation safety?

    Well since my example was pulled from several actual events resulting in 5 people killed, I think those questions should be asked to the survivors of the 5 killed. I think they will give you the most accurate answer. While analytical study may work for you and insurance companies who care...

    When is criminal law necessary for aviation safety?

    When the FAA enforcement process fails to stop or prevent the continuing of an unsafe act or operation. However, based on a previous thread’s discussion it appears some background info is required. There are 2 levels of aviation enforcement: the FAA Enforcement level and the Federal Criminal...

    You mean they didn't summarily execute him?

    Because the FAA does not directly engage in criminal enforcement nor is it permitted to. However, your new thread is more relevant and realistic to this topic than this thread’s generalized route, so I’ll reserve my future replies to there.

    You mean they didn't summarily execute him?

    No. I don’t equate penalty and punishment to threats and violence. As the adage goes, if you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime. So it’s your belief that all aviation violations should be free of penalty and punishment?

    You mean they didn't summarily execute him?

    The actual charges were lying to a federal investigator and obstructing a federal investigation by destroying evidence. That falls outside the FARs and was the reason the FBI stepped in to investigate. Once it became known he purposely crashed his aircraft the FAA investigated and revoked his...

    You mean they didn't summarily execute him?

    Since this whole conversation started with FAA regulations and your use of threats/violence in Post #16 here, I’ll answer based on that post. No. I can state with confidence the government via the FAA does not engage in threats of violence and violence when enforcing aviation laws and...

    You mean they didn't summarily execute him?

    What I find interesting, is that when others make an argument or point, you require peer-reviewed studies, scientific articles and empirical data from them to back things up. Yet when you make a point, you offer zero references or even examples and simply repeat your personal opinion. Let me...

    You mean they didn't summarily execute him?

    Why not give a few examples how your “free market” would handle the perk of firearm carry on an airline in the same scenario I presented above? Its one thing to have theories but if you can’t get them down on paper to show how they work, what’s the point? Since “threats of violence and...

    You mean they didn't summarily execute him?

    Interesting. Except not all state carry laws are equal, so the caliber… of people carrying will be across the entire spectrum to include those who have only fired a gun to get their permit.;) And in an equal opportunity market you may be correct. However, the aviation carriage market is far...

    You mean they didn't summarily execute him?

    Yes. If the same dumbazz who couldn’t remember if he had a loaded gun in his carry-on, was allowed to carry it onboard, then I become a captive audience/participant to his ongoing stupidity and ignorance. On the ground, outside of an aircraft, no big deal as I can walk away from him. Couldn't...

    More regulation will almost certainly not solve the problems.

    While its not in my top 10 of discussion topics, I think I should 1st point out that most aviation regulatory authorities already have established "philosophical foundations" especially when it comes to compliance issues. And in general, these foundations are revised as the industry and society...

    You mean they didn't summarily execute him?

    I've heard it can be as high as 70% missed. But supposedly its getting better for various reasons. Regardless, I think these Darwinian candidates should lose flying privileges for a spell for these stupid acts as punishment, as all it does is give low-hanging fruit for the gun-control lobby...

    More regulation will almost certainly not solve the problems.

    Not at all. In reality, laws and morals are both standards of a personal conduct. However, morals tend to come from specific personal beliefs and laws tend to come from a collection of community beliefs. So under the Rule of Law, laws and regulations apply equally to all persons regardless of...

    More regulation will almost certainly not solve the problems.

    Except it does follow the principal of the Rule of Law which has been a foundation for the country for many, many years. But since you are obvious not a follower of the Rule of Law, then you are correct that we will agree to disagree on the subject. Except the private domain is owned by private...

    More regulation will almost certainly not solve the problems.

    And as I always reply, analysis or overwhelming data is not always a requirement when regulating industries. For example, it can be as simple as the accidental death of a nationally beloved football coach that became the final straw publicly after a string of high-profile accidental deaths and...

    Can I remove the beacon atop my rudder?

    Yes. However what route you will have to take will depend on various items like the aircraft original configuration vs current configuration, aircraft year of manufacture, etc. Regardless the end result will require the removal still allows the aircraft to meet the original certification...

    More regulation will almost certainly not solve the problems.

    The reason for this is the difference in how the civil aviation authorities are funded. In the US they a government funded via taxes. In the most other places like UK or EU, they are user fee funded. For example, if you want to use a runway in the EU each aircraft must pay a fee each time, they...

    US membership in ICAO - costs and requirements

    Very doubtful its zero. But they been paying them since the 40s. I believe the initial supporters (US, UK, France) of the Chicago Convention/ICAO also pay a greater portion percentage wise than the remaining countries. Actually the ICAO is not a regulatory authority so there is no “mandate”...
