I saw that on Reddit this one reminded me of posts I read on this forum. "He hopes this also improves the problem where AMEs are sending in hundreds of pages of documentation when the FAA only needed like 4."

Night VFR seems as if they want a medical or basic medical doesn't make any sense why a light sport pilot would want to get a medical. FAA I guess can't let go of that medical completely. What is odd they say because sport pilots without any night VFR training can be pressured to fly during...

My brother-in-law having severe chest pain ER did 2 EKG's came back normal. Wasn't diagnosed until they got labs back with high troponin he got 3 stents put in.

He wasn't arrested he was written a ticket for an infraction the police wrote up a phony charge of walking through a restricted area the DA refused to prosecute. In the end he plead guilty to an infraction like paying a speeding ticket. Why would anyone need to report that. I would say this...

I was looking at a challenger 2 it was manufactured in the US shipped to Canada not sure how the tax works. Maybe it would get tax exemption.

Been looking at various Kit planes there are some unbuilt kits in Canada. How much tax does one have to pay bringing it back over the border. I probably would drive there and just trailer it back myself. The closest thing I could find online was 2.5% for a used vehicle, but also stated if the...

going through just this, when subpoena the FOIA the FAA office claims they treat a subpoena as if it were a foia request and do not divulge new information Can a subpoena overrule the privacy act? I don't think so its like using a court to subpoena classified information. That was tried when...

Don't give them your insurance card or give them your SSN number they come up with some bogus diagnoses to get your insurance pay more money. Find someone who doesn't accept any insurance that way you know no way can try and bill your insurance. Insurance will only pay if there is a diagnosis.

That is an amazing price $59k for a factory built SLSA the wings fold put it in a trailer. Looks like they haven't raised their price in years I found a video on YouTube from 2010 it is mentioned the cost is under 60k. The Bushcat similar design wings don't fold I think the Bushcat little more...

I believe the Aerolite 103 would meet those checklist requirements, but if registered as an EAB could still be flown by someone with a light sport certificate. Really no reason to bother with trying to find an ELSA kit if one has a light sport certificate. Just need to find a kit that can meet...

Sonex have a faster cruse speed seems like when the engines quit on takeoff things don't end well with two people onboard near or above gross useful load before fuel is 480 lbs. Sonex-B with a jabiru cruse at 170 mph at 8000 feet and AeroVee 150 MPH. Those are above average speed for low-cost...

Can any part 103 ultralight kit like an Aerolite 103 be registered EAB, or ELSA and get a N number so owner can fly it over populated areas, and land at controlled airports?

The question is does Adderall improve anyone's ability to concentrate, or does it only work on people who truly are diagnosed with ADHD only? I had a co-worker who got a script to finish grad school he said it helped he didn't think he had ADHD quit taking it after he graduated. I asked how he...

The VP Steve Dickson who was found to have ordered the retaliation on her was later appointed FAA Administrator under the Trump administration continued on until March of 2022.

Reminds me of that news story of the Delta pilot Karlene Petitt who raised issues about pilot fatigue. The airline retaliated with their doctor falsifying a diagnosis saying she had bipolar disorder. The doctors claimed that she must have bipolar a disorder because of her accomplishments writing...

I agree the cause of sleep apnea is not always obesity. Good luck getting used to it took me a year had to start out with the thing very lose on my face and tighten it over a few weeks I could not fall asleep with that thing on my face unless I stayed up all night was exhausted.

Your AHI was 3 per hour 8 years ago now after using CPAP for 8 years it's 23 without the cpap during the sleep study. I'm not surprised likely your body has gotten used to the CPAP. I have read people developed central sleep apnea from long term CPAP treatment. Central sleep apnea is when you...

I was reading this from the AOPA no mention of AHI. I would think if the sleep doctor doesn't mention it in the letter should be okay. I would review what they write before you send it to the FAA.

If you look at one of the AME's who regularly posts here this is what he says has to be in the letter from your sleep doctor. This is included with the cpap data. He might reply here in case not take a look...

My understanding is that if you were diagnosed in the same year that you applied for a medical, or reapplied then they want at least 2 weeks min. If you were diagnosed a few years before they want a years worth of data the problem is folks who tried it didn't like the CPAP never used it which is...
