Just to point out the obvious...just because people do it doesn't make it legal. I speed in my car all the time.

EXACTLY right, doesn't matter who you are...AMO, private owner, etc...this rule applies to everyone.

As for the comment above about people that use out of date manuals in aviation should not be in aviation.......I am sure that you do not adhere to every aspect of CARs either so I guess you should leave aviation also.
Anyone knowingly not adhering to the CAR's should not be in aviation. I don't think anyone does so on purpose...or I hope not anyways.
I think the point was made about the
value of these manuals being (most likely) out of date, which is I think where this debate came from.
Regardless, just my $0.02
