ACMESkydiver 0 #1 March 17, 2005 Which is NOT a goal of the Dept. of Transportation? a.) Safety b.) Protect the flying interest c.) to conduct planning d.) regulate schedule ??? The book does not clearly SPELL OUT the DOT's goals, and a look at the DOT's websight is frustrating because their mission statement doesn't match up with these... If I have to guess I'll go with d.) Well?? THIS QUESTION absolutely SUCKS as well, I have read all of these acts and found NOTHING to do with one year contracts or manufacturing!!!! This act severed aircraft manufacturing from the airlines and authorized new one-year airmail contracts: a.) Kelly Act 1925 b.) McNary Watres Act of 1930 c.) Black-McKellar Act of 1934 d.) Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938 ???? Which agency is repsonsible for the location, construction, or installation, maintenance, and ops pf Federal visual and electronic aids to navigation? a.)NTSB b.)FCC c.)FAA d.)CNN Ohhh.....~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

MWGemini 0 #2 March 17, 2005 I'm not a pilot, but from what I know and have read, I'm going to GUESS that the answers are: 1:B - The DOT doesn't control the air afaik. 2: Read this:http://www.centennialofflight.gov/essay/Commercial_Aviation/Brown/Tran3.htm 3: Obviously not D, CNN has nothing to do with it. I would guess the FCC isn't it either. That leaves NTSB or FAA. Should be simple enough to research. Give me a few minutes. Mike Edit: Looks like #2, the Kelley act regulated price per pound, Option C looks to be correct :Quote"Senator Black looked for different ways to punish the airlines. On June 12, 1934, he introduced the Black-McKellar Bill, which became known as the Air Mail Act of 1934. Its main provision broke up the aviation holding companies, large corporations that owned both aircraft manufacturing companies and airlines. The act also stated that the government would set airmail contracts, routes, and schedules; fix subsidy rates and airmail payments; and regulate the airways and license pilots. Furthermore, the temporary, low bids that had been accepted from the airlines were locked in place. All of the airmail carriers began to lose money." (http://www.prrths.com/Hagley/PRR1934%20Aug%2004.wd.pdf Check June 12th, 1934. Edit #2: Number 3 is the FAA. check here: http://www.fbodaily.com/cbd/archive/2001/01(January)/18-Jan-2001/spmsc012.htm Done. That wasn't that bad.

ACMESkydiver 0 #4 March 17, 2005 QuoteA Airmail Act of 1925 I'm thinking it was Black-McKeller of 1934...it specifically mentions manufacture: QuoteSenator Black looked for different ways to punish the airlines.

pilotdave 0 #18 March 18, 2005 FA is area forecast (french acronym). It's at the beginning of a standard METAR/TAF. edit: Got access to DUATS? If you request a standard low altitude weather briefing for lets say KSEA (Seattle), you'll get a loooong area forecast, starting with the san fransisco area forecast (where the SFO comes from, I assume). It then goes into the area forecast for each region of Washington, starting with the area west of the cascades. Below is the "translated" version, if that's what you're looking for.
