I haven't flown at Riddle since December when I finished my CFII, but have heard they have made even more rules about flying. You have to wear your id at all times on the ramp, and they have set up about 12 practice areas that are limited in the number of Riddle aircraft each. So if you want to go to a different area to practice a maneuver you have to get permission from the flight desk. I think one of the worst rules is the long pants one. It's so much fun sitting in a 100 degree plane in the middle of summer with jeans on.

Actually, the practice area rules, in my opinion, are a good idea. There are a lot of aircraft out there and keeping control on the amount of traffic in one practice area is beneficial. I remember calling over "Riddle Traffic" my position one day, clearing the area and spotting about three various aircraft in my vicinity. Scary stuff!
I think the ID thing might be required by the feds, I'm not really sure. You may be required to have a picture ID on to be in an airport operations area, and some of the foreign students may or may not have drivers licenses.
