I asked the owner or my friend what the paper work says for the fly off area. he said....does not matter he can fly anywhere he wants as long as he stays within 50 miles....WRONG... I tried and tried to get this man to understand, this just was not correct. I could not get this man to understand this.
Get this..He is an A&P. I mentioned this to the man doing the test flying and you would think I mentioned I robbed a bank. I gave up and walked away letting them do what they want, for whom am I to tell this man with 1000 hrs flying or this A&P...They no not what they are doing...but they don't.
