    And so it goes..

    ^^^ This is very important IMHO. If you have a Primary Care physician who you think will scam you for a share of $95 you need a new PC. If my doc (who I trust a lot) recommended a test, I would be hard pressed to ignore it without understanding the risk tradeoffs. I know CAMI follows...

    Multi Training

    IMHO, if you can fly to the ACS standards you should be good. I'd recommend at least a solo or 5 to do things in less of a structured manner and get comfortable flying more naturally.

    Disqualifying TSA question(s)

    The direct answer to your question is Yes. (See PIA here, page 10 Para 3). The disqualifying criteria in a TSA suitability determination are here. Section (2)(vii) seems to be a problem for "your friend" And you are pretty much entirely wrong on your interpretation of everything with the...

    Helene relief flights

    Our local airport (KJYO) has a dozen planes shuttling supplies, staging out of the FBO. Been getting really positive press in the media the last couple days. Not centrally organized, smokehouse pilots is getting the word out and people are stepping up.

    Getting "Trapped" By AME's Refusing Fast Track

    It's a bit worse than that. The AME is required to use the definitions per DSM IV even though it was replaced over a decade ago. The real doctors are using DSM V which has notably different definitions, particularly as it pertains to mental concerns.

    And so the project begins…Comanche 180

    ^^^This! Every plane I have owned (except my Comanche) is either a project or a rescue. It's a labor of love.

    Oshkosh: Mosaic for Private and Sport Pilots session on Wed

    Maybe not the FAA's "problem" but it is the DOT's. Some internal consistency at DOT would be welcome.

    NA - Hey Aviation Forum, How do I find a leak in a pool pipe?

    When I've had such problems, It usually traced to a check-valve in the plumbing that allowed water/air to suck from a pipe that's shut off. In our case, usually when in "Pool mode" the spa would "Leak down". It was actually just sucking air/water from the closed plumbing. Either not fully...

    Insurance Company Throws A Logical Twist

    This is still very rare and only seems to apply to older pilots. I haven't seen it at all in my community. I'm guessing the issue is "old" moreso than "BasicMed". They have long asked for more frequent exams and things like annual FR and IPC and have been less interested in insuring older...

    Insurance Company Throws A Logical Twist

    The bottom line is BasicMed has been around for a while now and there has been no increase in medical issues according to CAMI. The Class 3 has been debunked as a tool to improve safety. FAA Report linked here. BasicMed works, but it is just a start. Hyper-theoretical issues exist, sure. But...
