Understanding FAR 117 
Garret,
I had read your clarifying questions to the FAA on 117 last year as well. I like the layout of the website as well as the content. There are a few small typos as well as a few areas I might disagree with you based on conversations, interpretations, or correspondence with the FAA. I don’t think you’re wrong but I do have a different take on a few of the different aspects of a very complex final rule.
Regards,
