Summary 185 Max talks about columnist Martha Lunken's flight under a bridge, which led to the revocation of her certificates. Typically, that violation would result in a several month suspension. But FAA contends she also turned off her ADS-B Out, which led to the revocation. Dr. Scott Dennstaedt talks about his EZWxBrief App, which compares a pilot's personal minimums with current and forecast weather.
