Nor his freezer stuffed with $100 bills....

how dumb do those in Congress [or should it be congress] think we citizens are?

Getting upset and thinking that they are imune to laws?

Mark Twain said it best:

First God made fools... this was for practice... then He made Congress [and another occasion: There are fools and congressmen... ahhhh but I repeat myself...]

life long poloticians are the destruction of our great country - our founding fathers never fathomed this situation... regrettably

sorry for the rant but I have young grandchildren and I feel for our future...

Since VFR Terminal Area Charts (TAC) came to be published (with roots dating back to the 1978 San Diego PSA Flight 182 and subsequent 1986 Cerritos Aeromexico Flight 498 crashes), I believed that TACs were required to be carried in the aircraft to fly in Class B airspace. I always carry current LAS, LAX, SAN and SFO TACs in the plane. I've always thought, "How could you safely navigate this busy airspace without it???"

My buddy John Manduca said "No, you don't need a TAC in the plane." I didn't believe him so I checked with AOPA and found out that John was right...

AOPA told me no charts were required to fly in, around or under the Class B airspace. However, you must carry a current chart if you are going to navigate a special route such as the Hollywood Park, Shoreline or Los Angeles Special Flight Rules routes. This requirement is stated directly in the TAC itself.

After 28 years of flying in Los Angeles' airspace, you'd think I'd of known this. You are never too old to learn Rosie

"Becoming familiar" with something does not imply having the data on-board. Should this also mean that you need to carry a voice recording of your FSS flight briefing? Also note that it 91.103 states nothing about what should be on-board...only what should be done in pre-flight.
