    FAA approch to dual-DUI

    I know - personally - a former Marine Hornet pilot whose callsign the entire time she was in the USMC was 'Lush.' She mustered out in 2016. So don't tell me it was back in the day . . . The thing is the rules are the rules. The FAA has been legislated and elected officialed and MADDed...

    MedExpress question NOT involving a DWI/SSRI

    You need better relatives. I have a friend [no really] arrested in Chicago 31 years ago for criminal mischief. He was standing at the end of the street when his girlfriend and her friend picked some flowers from someones yard [4 in total]. They arrested the two guys even though the females...

    DWI/3rd Class Medical/HIMS

    because they WANT you that way when you speak to them. You must be resigned to your fate and beg them for dispensation. When my Viking went off left they were all over me - I told them I was going to wait for the video tape before I gave them my statement. No one got my statement until I...

    DWI/3rd Class Medical/HIMS

    now THAT is just showing your anti-authority mindset which is dangerous to safe flight. You need to learn to simply shut up, obey and say yes massah any time you are questioned by the civil authorities at the FAA/DOT. Questioning their ideas just turns you in a menace - how do you think Bob...

    DWI/3rd Class Medical/HIMS

    but the FAA is owned by MADD and the fear of bad press. What works is not relevant to the FAA. They have a program set up by MADD essentially - ask doctors? What? That's rational. alcohol and drug policy is set by fear of bad press and politics. What works and is rational is not...

    DWI/3rd Class Medical/HIMS

    Single Isolated Incident . . . where you got caught. There is a way, if your body is only of those unusual 'accomodators' to alcohol that can take large amounts of intake and not produce the usual response. Unfortunately for you, the FAA aeromedical division will not let you prove it since...

    Reporting Medical Fraud

    mental instability. Are we talking chemtrails / conspiracy theory mental instability or fly a plane into the IRS building to show them mental instability? There really isn't much in between. Remember - you can fly with BasicMed for a lot of conditions that would ground you if you sought a...

    Southwest engine fire in SLC - 02/26/18

    a main shaft losing a centerline or a bearing isn't 'on fire' either - other than the obvious that its technically on fire the entire time its running. FADEC has done a lot to eliminate compressor stalls now - but - if you ingest something - like a small bird - it looks ALOT like that...

    NA anyone know about telescopes?

    @TommyG I think your second option is better - the refractors are good for planets and the moon but anything else can be dim and dark because of the long focal length - the Celestron 130 is a decent telescope and the GOTO feature will make finding things easier - but you [well, she] MUST take...

    Telescopes - I've owned at least a dozen. I presently own four - a 4" Meade ETX 90 an 8" Celestron SCT an 8" Dobsonian -and the monster light bucket 13" Coulter Odyssey 1 - a Dobsonian. I've done street viewing, I've done specific event for whole schools and school districts and I've been...

    Southwest engine fire in SLC - 02/26/18

    its NOT an engine fire - its compressor stalls . . . and we trust the media on other issues? I have no idea why.

    iPad Pro

    I have a ipad pro 10.5, huge memory, verizon cell simcard installed - I rarely use it and NEVER use it in the airplane. Its too big. I tried. I wanted to - its just too darn big hanging off the yoke. Blocks too much - even sideways. I bought a used iPad Mini 4 - I had a 3 but the wife...
