Take a gander over in the Medical Topics part of the forum. There are quite a few things on the questionnaire that are wayyy different from DOT physicals. Pay special attention to the "have you ever" questions. There are conditions that may have been so far in your past that you thought would...

And (according to the chart shown by Blancolirio), no reversers!

Doesn't like my adblocker though.

I wonder if they will issue a new "hotspot" for particular this location (HS-3)? Not typically a spot noted for runway incursion, but maybe the CRJ crew didn't want to be "the guy" that caused an incursion so they held back from the hold short line? "An "airport surface hot spot" is a location...

Ya' know, my main gripe goes back to the OP's initial statement: "I'm an Aviation Engineering student at The Ohio State University, I'm going into my 4th year.". Why is it that aviation schools and flight training facilities allow their students to make it this far without first explaining the...

Around here they will post a sign near the combination to enter. It usually has something along the line of "CTAF' for entry, or "squawk NORDO", or even "squawk VFR" at KJWY. I have often considered using a small airfield's lot for overnight parking when making longer trips in our motor home...

One thing to consider - if you are absolutely certain that you can pass the Third Class medical, go ahead and get that done. It will help to transition to Basic Med for your Private Pilot certification if you decide to follow that path later in life. Just be certain that you can pass without...

Late-start student pilot here - going to restart after retirement (early next year). If you are on a budget, start with the best value and buy expensive later. I chose the ASA HS-1A's three years ago when they were $129. They have a lifetime warranty. The earcups are large enough to easily...

How did her surgery go? Well, I hope. The reverse was the easiest of all joint replacements I've experienced.

I'm hoping that this time I bounce back quicker. But as others near have pointed out, I am eight years older and about 15 pounds heavier.

Good to hear you have completed the most difficult part of the process - actually convincing yourself to go through with the surgery. I put it off for over ten years, and the result was joint wear much worse than when first diagnosed. Luckily I was referred to a "rock star" by my normal...

How would BasicMed work for this person's situation? Max passenger limit, weight limits and other stipulations too restrictive for the pilot in question?

If you buy new, or CPO (certified pre-owned) I highly, repeat highly, recommend looking into the Chrysler 8 yr/125K mile Added Care Plus plan. Or, if you can swing it - the MaxCare plan. It paid off in my case. In 2014 I went to the dealer to order a new JK Sport. No frills except A/C. The...

On the bright side - another large-bore Continental has been saved for the used engine market.

Sorry - didn't mean to hijack the thread. After my first joint replacement I learned that opioids are not compatible with my system. Naproxen sodium (Aleve, Anaprox) or plain old aspirin for me.

I work in a field where we are subject to random testing. We are constantly cautioned against use of any product containing hemp or CBD. I take those warnings seriously. I have seen far too many people toss away a good paying job by doing silly things. Alcohol or drugs can get you restricted...

I may need to PM you. I have a "pain heavy" procedure in the future - total knee replacement. Wondering about recovery and time before being cleared to fly. I have been working with my CFI to project a schedule for my return to flight training.

Robert Isom? (to the tune of $31.4 million, 2023) Vasu Raja? Not so much

If for no other reason than the astringent benefits offered by the alcohol! Must prevent a nasty infection. And stuff.

I have an ancient laptop still running XP-SP3. It lives in the garage. The reason is like you stated, I have an older Ford F-53 service manual on CD and it won't run on anything else. In fact, I have to keep the date set to 2012 - otherwise it tries to tell me the information is out of date...
