That explains the requirements for Insulin Dependent Diabetics. To fly a Cessna 172, you have to have the same requirements as a Commercial Truck Driver carrying 50,000 lbs 3-6 feet from you on the freeway.

I'm trying to parse this one out: (From the Guide for AME, page 252, at Download, Print, or View the Complete AME Guide For CPAP/ BIPAP/ APAP: A copy of the cumulative annual PAP device report. Target goal should show use for at least 75% of sleep periods and an average minimum of 6 hours use...

That would be awesome to have on the test!

Which one from the FAA guide? http://www.faa.gov/training_testing/testing/test_questions/media/sport_rec_private_akts.pdf (Sorry to be a butthead, but using the actual item from the FAA material will help others on this.)

Yes. I tool mine the week after the new questions came out, and used the ASA and Sporty's app to study. I got 4 wrong, so 93%. It seems that the FAA wants to be sure that you question yourself when you get caught driving drunk, like how long you have, and which place to report it. It seems...

Something that's a little old-school that may help, and it's been used on airplanes before:

I was down there for a total of 2.5 years, and I never saw one in the air. Now I see them (or hear them) 5-6 times a week!

On my Sleepyhead report, I have a few 3 hour nights and I'm still showing 100%. I can forward it to you, if you like. it may be that your software is calculating the numbers differently.

this is what I'm talking about... http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20160717/local/diabetic-pilots-break-world-record-in-flight-to-malta.619105 I never said it would be easy... I only said it would be worth it.

It's an average. A value of zero destroys an average, as I learned in high school. It takes 9 100% to make up for one zero to still get an 'A'. Even getting 25% (guessing and getting 1/4 correct) on a test reduces your "need for 100%" value to 7, getting 50% (educated guesses) reduces that to...

At Aviation Day here in Everett, there were quite a few at the CAP booth that just gave up their medical for OSA (that was the big one), and other issues. Guys that had been flying for 30 years. It'll be good for them to get back in the air.

That's in PBOR3! We need your money! That, or the airplanes on the ground will get used more, but I think you're right.

Yeah... "Complete" means 27% of the government. The bureaucrats still work, and those that serve the public get a paid vacation.

Understood, but what you're citing are the current conditions. The PBOR2 has the 3 items for SI now, so I'm confused on the "prohibited by law" thingy. I do know that insulin controlled diabetes is in the FAR: §67.313 General medical condition. The general medical standards for a third-class...

Section 2307.a.7: (7) the individual has received a comprehensive medical examination from a State-licensed physician during the previous 48 months and—

Visiting the tower at 2pm today (it's on the way home), and anything special I should look for/ask? I'm more of a situational guy, where questions come up as I see things, but any suggestions are appreciated.

It's the date of the expiration of your last class 3 medical. Even better! Exam: 6/28/07 3rd Class Medical issued 6/28/07 Expires: 6/30/09 10 Years from that: 6/30/19 :D

I'd let the dust settle a bit, and then get with Dr. Bruce on this for 1 on 1 counseling. You may be surprised, in a good way.

Does ADHD fall under: 2307.b.2.III? (III) the individual is aware of the regulations pertaining to the prohibition on operations during medical deficiency and has no medically disqualifying conditions in accordance with applicable law; I don't know if ADHD is specified by law elsewhere, or if...

No, you made it by 153 weeks. (using the 2 year over 40 assumption...) Blues are qualifiers, reds are disqualifiers. Sec 2307.A: (a) In general.—Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration shall issue or revise...
