Farewell our Curmudgeon Administrator
One of the guys in our coffee group is a comercial pilot that flys freight. Knowing my intrest in flashlights, he asked my opinion on the following FAA rule:
___________________________________________
Section 91.503: Flying equipment and operating information.
(a) The pilot in command of an airplane shall ensure that the following flying equipment and aeronautical charts and data, in current and appropriate form, are accessible for each flight at the pilot station of the airplane:
(1) A flashlight having at least two size "D" cells, or the equivalent, that is in good working order.
_____________________________________________
I'll ask the CPF his question..."what is "equivalent" to a "flashlight having at least two size "D" cells....in good working order"?
Would the xenergy-3in1 or the Sure Fire A2 be equivalent?
