Navy vs. TCU flyover

[MasterBates]

While only the CNO can violate a Naval Aviator, sometimes the power is delegated down to the DH level..

Oh wait, you meant FLIGHT Violation..

How often does the opportunity to do fly overs present itself and how do you get selected to do them? Is it a voluntary thing?

I was on the field that day as well. Turns out I did an aviation cruise the following summer with his squadron of which he was the XO. He did not get in any trouble, just a little "talking" to. He said he was scared he wasn't going to make it out of the stadium so he plugged in the burners. Can't do stuff like that anymore unfortunately. He is an awesome dude. He is the one who made my mind up for me that I wanted to fly jets after I graduated.

Did he possess your body while he was making up your mind for you?

 

[midhusker]

yes, i just wish he would have left some of his flying skills with me before he gave it back to me.

The command can do something, but the FAA can't do crap to him. Only the CNO can violate a a Naval Aviator (but that doesn't mean blow the rules off).

If he has an FAA license, the FAA can pull his license regardless of what the Navy says.

If he has an FAA license, the FAA can pull his license regardless of what the Navy says.

Only if the Navy gives them the pilot's name. The usually won't unless they agree to the violation.

This is why you don't give them the PIC's name when filing over the phone with a civilian FSS. Got a good brief on this back in Primary from the guy who is the civil/military liason at the FAA. He joked that his callsign was "Shitscreen." The point was, this agreement keeps a wayward aviator from getting punished more than once. In other words, his military career may take a hit but his future or current (for reservists) civilian one won't.

Also, this is why you NEVER give out pilots names if someone calls and asks.. Can't tell you how many time people wanted a pilots name "so they could put it in the paper"... Riiiiight..

Except that with alot of the fly overs at Navy they announce the pilot's name and his class if he is an alumn. Not always, but alot of them. The pilots would also come over to the stadium after the fly over alot of times.
