How about upstate? I've got fiber running on the pole outside my house. They dropped a spool off last year across the road, while they were doing work on the lines. The cable was clearly labeled fiber optic. The driver of the FIOS van (two bucket trucks were there as well) confirmed it was fiber, but couldn't/wouldn't tell me what it was for or who's data was running over it.
I suspect GE or SI, as they both have a heavy presence locally. More than a bit irritated that fiber is running about thirty feet from the house, and they're not about to use it for residential service.
Motorcycles, as a general rule, get better gas mileage than most four-wheeled vehicles (less pollution). Each motorycle weighs significantly less than a four-wheeler, reducing wear and tear on the road (less maintenance). Each motorcycle sitting in between lanes is one more car that's not taking up a lane (more room for four-wheelers). Anybody who's idiotic enough to filter illegally at a high rate of speed might just end up as an viable organ donor, which helps another section of the population (donor recipients). If they've managed to wreck most of their vital organs... they're less traffic overall.
Might be a challenge getting all the four-wheeled drivers to actually check their blind spots and switch lanes safely... but more motorcycles on the road might increase awareness.
Darn shame we can't do much about those horrible winter months in the Northern half of country, when we can't ride year 'round.
It's a big universe out there, and the further we look, the older it is. Takes a lot of hubris to announce that something only exists in a given person's imagination, based solely upon one's knowledge, limited though it may be.
Bit like a slug under a rock being unable to fathom a jet airliner...
Flight simulation is one of those areas where I doubt there will ever be such a thing as enough memory. There's always something to model in greater detail.
If providing the wrong finger leads to tampering with evidence (an act of my own doing), then providing the correct finger and thus the evidence is incriminating myself, which *should* be covered under the Fifth Amendment. I say should, because I don't have faith in our legal system to give a crap about the Fifth, or any other Right, these days...
The poster above my original post stated that the "FAA controls from the ground up." That implies it's controlled airspace. It's not, per the FAA's own media. Class G airspace may be regulated, but it is not controlled.
Instead of copying and pasting the FAA's words, would you like to demonstrate where in our legal system it has been determined that the FAA controls from the ground up?
I'd also like to point out that the FAA does not control Class G airspace: it is defined by the FAA's own media as uncontrolled (https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aviation/pilot_handbook/media/PHAK%20-%20Chapter%2014.pdf). The FAA may place rules upon flight in the area (such as remaining 500' away from any person, vessel, or vehicle in non-congested areas, per FAR Part 91.119), but it is uncontrolled.
The FAA would certainly like everyone to believe so. Some would disagree.
From http://scholarship.law.marquet...: "The Court divides the airspace over the United States into two zones. The upper zone is called navigable airspace. Congress has defined it, "as airspace above minimum safe altitudes of flight prescribed by the Civil Aeronautics Authority...,,22 In this upper zone the rights of the federal government are so complete that this navigable airspace, according to the Court's opinion, is "within the public domain."
In Swetland v. Curtiss Airports Corp's, the Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit stated: "He (the landowner) has a dominant right of occupancy for purposes incident to his use and enjoyment of the surface.... We can not fix a definite and unvarying height below which the surface owner may reasonably expect to occupy the airspace for himself. That height is to be determined upon the particular facts in each case."
In United States v.Causby, the military was granted an easement by the government, which met the military's need for transitioning the airspace over the Causby property. In exchange for the easement, Causby was granted $2,000, which the Supreme Court had found to be the value of the easement, as well as the chickens rendered lifeless by the overflights.
If the FAA would like to control the airspace over my head, then I would be more than happy to grant them an easement; I also expect to be granted the value of the easement: the retail value of the radio control model aircraft & related equipment, which I may no longer enjoy unencumbered by the FAA's rulings.
Ha! NYS' stand against corruption? Sure, as long as it's someone else's corruption. Best not look too closely at Cuomo. He might shut your commission down:http://nypost.com/2015/05/31/preet-bharara-creeps-closer-to-cuomo-with-latest-indictment/
There are kit planes that qualify as ultralights. If one wants to make wide sweeping statements about what is and isn't required for a given category of aircraft, don't be surprised if someone posts the exception to the rule.
(a) Notwithstanding any other section pertaining to certification of
aircraft or their parts or equipment, ultralight vehicles and their
component parts and equipment are not required to meet the airworthiness
certification standards specified for aircraft or to have certificates
of airworthiness.
(b) Notwithstanding any other section pertaining to airman certification,
operators of ultralight vehicles are not required to meet any aeronautical
knowledge, age, or experience requirements to operate those vehicles or to
have airman or medical certificates.
(c) Notwithstanding any other section pertaining to registration and
marking of aircraft, ultralight vehicles are not required to be registered
or to bear markings of any type.
I have fiber on the pole next to the house. Haven't meaured it, but going off a rough eye... 30 feet away from the house. When they were working on the line, I walked up to the Verizon lineman and asked him if it was fiber optic. He acknowledged it, then stated he wouldn't be able to tell me what it was for. GE has two facilities nearby, as well as Environmental One and SI's headquarters.
VZ still won't gives us FiOS here. I'm not bitter, really I'm not.
The poster above was able to link to AC 91-57, which does "outline, and encourage voluntary compliance with" some safety guidelines. I'd hardly consider that to be regulations and rules worthy of files and punishment should they be broken.
That said, those rules you mentioned are a good practice; but they are not codified as such.
The only "rules" I've ever heard of are the safety guidelines put in place by the Academy of Model Aeronautics: http://www.modelaircraft.org/f.... Better follow those guiidelines if you're a member, so you'll be covered by their liability insurance: http://www.modelaircraft.org/m.... Then it's "not your ass".
Even your referenced link points to "Section 336 of Public Law 112-95 (the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012)": https://www.faa.gov/uas/media/.... Did you catch the date on that? Unless you're ten, I would call three years a "very long time." The majority of points listed in your post are not contained within SEC. 336. The only one that is valid is flying a model aircraft within five miles of an airport... and even that can be done, when " the operator of the aircraft provides the airport operator and the airport air traffic control tower (when an air traffic facility is located at the airport) with prior notice of the operation"
'Round here (Upstate NY), we're realistically limited to two ISPs. Verizon and Time Warner. Most of the area doesn't have access to FIOS, either... I'm talking about Verizon DSL. Neither seems to be looking to change the status quo. Sure, I'd be pissed if one or both were dropped by Netflix, but I can't switch to anyone else.

Promote motorcycles and make filtering legal.

Don't think much of her (or Trump), either. Don't assume that because I think little of one, I think more of the other.
My fear is that someone will end up winning this election.
No, but the woman who consistently stands by his side and defends him is. It shows her (lack of) character.

There's a ducted fan in the rear of the vehicle that appears to provide thrust during and after the transition to cruise.
When someone hands me a legal document that says one thing, and verbally promises to do another, it's a fair bet I'm about to get screwed over.

This. I prefer metric wrenches when I'm working on my car or my motorcycle.
Still can't wrap my mind around measuring distances in kilometers vs miles.

I must be some kind of genius, then. I picked up my ticket in less than 60 hours and less than $3,000 US, ten years ago.
Got a reference to that statement anywhere? I haven't seen one.
