I thought it requires a psychiatrist to undiagnosed ADHD, and take a CogScreen test?

Good luck likely it was an SSRI maybe Prozac which was common one 20 years ago you have to jump though hoops I'm guessing wonder if you tell the AME about it on a consult how can he omit that when you actually get the medical done? Let us know how it went the AME's here would know for sure what...

If you fly sport pilot then those hours can count later down the road for a PPL if your able to get the medical. I think the main problem is the cost to jump though the hoops for the FAA none of it is covered by medical insurance all out of pocket at the uncontracted price rates. Build an The...

I agree should be as honest as you can but how does one remember every single time they saw a doctor, or went to the ER in their entire life by the time you get into your 60's don't remember everything you ever did when you were 12 years old. If you flood them with 1300 pages will they even look...

I believe doctors centuries ago used to actually taste the urine see if it was sweet indicating the patient was diabetic. They would use a "Urine Flavor Wheel" to assist in diagnoses according to this link. Those doctors were dedicated...

If you get flight training for light sport can those hours with an instructor be used later to get a PPL if I use a regular CFI?

You would think the aviation industry would grease the wheels more with money only thing that gets things done in Washington. I agree the only way is to change the law take away the power from the FAA.

I took a little over a year off from the gym when Covid hit in 2020 didn't get back in there till June 2021 it was tough getting going again. Sweating, heart racing, just feeling lousy for about 3 weeks I go 5-6 nights a week. I had to start out slow but I would go 7 nights a week even if I only...

I guess I can understand it for a class 1 medical but class 2, and 3 seems overkill. Bureaucratic agencies have to keep adding new regulations every year so they can justify their existence. If they were to give up class 3 turn that into basic medical type exam that would take away majority of...

Seems like southern states Law enforcement over enforces pulled over for 1-2 mph over the limit maybe all those small counties make lot of money writing tickets.

I did two drift dives in Cozumel both were 65 feet max drift diving the first time was fun. The first one current was about 5 mph 2nd one we did was lot faster if you grabbed onto something or ducked under a rock partner would be 50 feet away in a few seconds. Also the loud boats circling over...

This is exactly what happened to these people.

Also take into account those numbers I gave you are max depth numbers didn't stay at that depth the entire time. Never did I see the computer say I was in deco it always had time left before deco. The minimum I remember seeing and reviewing the video I have is about 13 minutes at depth as got up...

I think you sign a waiver to allow them to review your medical records. Maybe the AME was one of these I heard a few talk about who doesn't dig too deep into things on his own does the minimum exam. His father was an airline pilot likely they knew someone.

If the AME is able to issue and not defer does the FAA take 9 months to start asking questions, or do they get to that right away?

The new form If you were sleepy driving home and police stop you have you do some tests. They claim you are under the influence of some drug. They arrest you go to jail take blood find no drugs, and drop the charges. Does the FAA require SI for drug abuse have to go to AA even though you were...

I wonder why the FAA doesn't have the AME look up the patient in the state drug prescription database? I had a prescription for some shampoo from my dermatologist my primary care doctors office had it in their computer asked me if I was still using it that would stop someone like Roy Holliday I...

Never seen a dentist prescribe OxyContin (Oxycodone) generally it's for chronic pain its an extended release form of hydrocodone. My dentist prescribes hydrocodone usually bottle of 8 pills no refill maybe that is what you were thinking of most people just say oxi for everything.

These drugs are quick fixes PCP's are allowed to hand out without much thought in the matter. It's typical of American health care system instead of sending someone to counseling first before drugs are used. Insurance companies rather go the cheapest route instead which is a pill. All about...

I don't think these trains even let up on the throttle you can hear that locomotive's diesel doesn't even sound like it changed RPM at all. Maybe it's better not to hit the brakes less chance of derailing.
