Some say that political pressure is forcing the FAA into an adversarial relationship with operators, especially Part 135 certificate holders. Are the days of "I'm from the FAA and I'm here to help" long gone?
Our FAA inspectors are fair and if we're trying to do it right, they always help us. Some of our FAA inspectors are helpful, others are punitive. We hesitate to ask our FAA inspectors about anything, for fear of attracting attention. Our FAA inspectors are always looking for what we're doing wrong and how to write us up for a violation.
