My daughter is moving there for the summer. Just finished my required 10 hours dual in the Mooney, so she's already asking when I'm coming down. Based on her location, looks like MBT or MQY will be the closest. Any recommendations?

Mike, I'm in the medical field, but this is not my area of expertise. However, I do have some personal experience here. I had similar symptoms a few years ago. First, I'd be loathe to let a surgeon near my spine until I'd exhausted all other options. And if I did, it would be a neurosurgeon...

Nice enough app. Would be helpful to be able to limit search by distance (i.e. show airports within 5 miles, 10 miles, etc).

I'm sure one of the airline types can confirm, but my understanding is that the cabin lighting is required to be dimmed for takeoff and landing in order to facilitate evacuation should that be necessary, so you can "follow the emergency lighting in the floor," like the FAs always say in their...

As the others said, not a huge issue. Although I'd probably track down the airport manager and have a word about the rent-a-cop illegally trying to play ATC. As for mixing up the runways, someone I know (cough, cough, ahem) once arrived at an unfamiliar untowered field at night, after a day...

Joe, Bruce answered more succinctly than I could. :D I will admit my perception is probably skewed by working in community hospitals the past 15 years...where the vast majority of the MVAs are "pre-litigation" exams with little pathology. Prior to that, when I was at a trauma center, lots...

What he said. As one who does this for a living, if it's not medically indicated, I don't order it. I've seen this point mentioned on several of these threads..."If you were seen in the emergency department after your car crash, they must have done an alcohol level." Not so. If it's not...

Well, Dr. Bruce can probably clarify, but I'm pretty sure the AME guide doesn't mandate a testicular exam for third class. From the source: "The Examiner should check for and note enlargement of organs, unexplained masses, tenderness, guarding, and rigidity." That's fairly vague, and...

This time of year? Hardly ever... What he said. BTDT, got the seat stains to prove it. Sounds as if the OP has thought it through and has reasonable tools at hand. My favorite aspect of GA flying is those long XC trips. As others have said, be flexible, be cautious and have fun!

Nice pics! I'd love to get some time in the air in that part of the country. I tried to set something up when I was in Tucson last year, but it never came together. Despite the weeks of low overcast here in the NE, finally finished up my complex endorsement this weekend. Now, on to...

Sorry for your loss Nate. But know that his selfless donation has no doubt forever changed the lives of others, in a good way...

Interesting. I sat in a 1946 BC12 last summer, on the ground, and felt pretty squashed. I'm 5'11" and 200 lbs. Does the BC12D have bigger cabin dimensions than the BC12?

Apologies if this has been posted previously, but if so, I didn't see it. Thought it was pretty cool! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDMDuRczDI0

Dr. Bruce will give you the particulars, but I can tell you, having had the same situation (false positive treadmill, followed by negative angiogram, in order to get my initial third class) you should be sure to save a copy of the operative report from the cath. Dr. B will hopefully correct me...

I have been one of those "night owls" since I was a kid. I'm now 52. Mornings and I have never seen eye to eye. Fortunately, for the past 10 years I've worked exclusively at night. I sleep much better during the daytime than I do at night. Unfortunately, that arrangement appears to be...

Yes, yes and yes. As to #4, I dunno, but doesn't seem unreasonable.

Yeah, but sometimes I can't help myself if they need educating...

Thanks Ron.

Herman...that's it! Knew I'd read that somewhere. Thanks!

I know this topic is beat to death here, but it seems the issues surrounding logging vs acting PIC just don't die. :mad2: It's well-accepted here, and on all the aviation forums, that when a rated pilot is training for a new endorsement (let's say, high performance or complex, for purposes of...
