Exactly right!
The FCC does not care about what the FAA is doing and vice versa. Each has their own mandated area of jurisdiction.
I don't think you or PatR are getting my point. So not to insult but I am going to dumb down my point. I get both of your points in that the law is there; learn it and live with it.
When the gov't gets involved common sense always flies out the door. The FCC should be enforcing the part 15 regs on the manufacturers and stop making it the fliers responsibility to research every aspect of every department of the government.
I know I'm probably beating a dead horse repeatedly but my situation speaks to this point in detail and is ridiculous in its complexity and severity.
I transport medical patients in stretchers and wheelchairs. I get paid to drive them (pay for hire) and go to multiple states. This makes it commercial, pay for hire in a Chrysler Town and Country. I'm between a taxi and long haul semi which is specifically a "small vehicle passenger service". I get to declare my base state. MN statutes 168.181, 187 and 221 allow me to have a commercial plate in SD and the corresponding reciprocity in all 48 contiguous states.
The state of MN knows this and still has DOT, DPS, Highway Patrol (crimes & commercial), DMV commercial, STS etcetera are attempting to exhort me into paying the state to register in MN when I clearly do not have to.
This is my point. The various agencies refuse to coordinate and joe citizen has to go to court to make the various agencies recognize their own statutes. Keep the gov't out of my life except to police and protect.
