Important Update
« on: September 13, 2017, 10:56:51 AM »
Hello Controllers,

Yesterday at the FAA Keynote in Cupertino, CA, the FAA unveiled a revolutionary new product.  One that will truly revolutionize the ATC industry. 

Introducing the 7110.65X.

This revolutionary document no longer requires the fingerprint scanning technology that we all grew accustom to. Instead, the FAA and NextGen have implemented something they like to call, FaceID. FaceID not only unlocks the wealth of knowledge within the document, but it also keeps track on how long you are looking at the document. This allows the FAA to know exactly how long you have been looking at the document, and can be used as evidence during an NTSB investigation.

The 7110.65X will completely change the federal document world forever, and for a small price of $50 per page, there has never been more affordable way to empty your wallet.

The FAA: "Exactly the same, completely different."

Take a look: https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/orders_notices/index.cfm/go/document.information/documentID/1031850

This new .65 every year thing is getting annoying. Plus they are behind the ICAO 4444 with its nice stylus and exploding text.

I hear you can sign up for FAA Doc's upgrade program. It's only a $500 a month subscription, but it ensures you get the new pages of the 7110 as soon as they print them.

If anybody here spends that kind of money for reasons other than professional ventures making (or intending to make) a profit, I think we need to talk about that.  lol
