My guess it would be determined by the extent of visual field loss, any associated neurological problems, and stability of the visual field loss. It appears FAA was not aware of this Motor vehicle accident when you received your 3rd class. Once aware, they said go back to square one and start...

My point is the ‘retinal migraine’ has been explored by an ophthalmologist, neurologist, and a neurophthalmologist, none of which could confirm this diagnosis, and the latter(a sub specialist) stated it wasn’t a retinal migraine. I did not suggest he not report his visits I merely suggested he...

Falsification of the record? The neurophthalmologist said he did not have a retinal migraine, but had “floaters”. What diagnosis did the neurologist give? Nothing. The ophthalmologist could not make a definitive diagnosis. All his lab tests were negative. What is false about vitreous floaters...

Congratulations, you got an expert opinion and he found no pathology and followup only if it gets worse or new symptoms. I’d continue to monitor it, but forget about it unless it becomes worse. I’d put down “floaters” as the diagnosis whether I agreed or not.

+1 call and get the lay of the land. Also look at comments in Air Nav or Fore flight. Usually if no comments, then their probably will be no big surprises.

Check plugs first.

My guess is 1) they were quite busy just keeping IFR flights separate and communicating, 2) back then the radars images were not as accurate with weather, or controllers were as adept(especially centers) 3) I do most my deviating on my own and seldom depend on center/approach. If I think it’s...

I would get a definitive diagnosis with a neurophthalmologist as sugggested by the neurologist. A definitive diagnosis involving a sudden neurological symptom needs to be evaluated. The ophthalmologist and neurologist are both uncomfortable giving you a diagnosis. A retinal migraine is a...

Tim Martin made videos of himself flying his 210 thru some of the arches in Utah. Never bought the videos, and never was tempted to try and duplicate his feat, especially with the thermal and winds in that part of the country.

Just go to bed for a week, eat What you normally eat, and you’ll lose 10 lbs on average. Any hospital patient knows this.

Chuck Conners, I believe?, played professional baseball(Cubs) and basketball(Celtics) before being Lucas McCain. Still watch the reruns once in awhile. I was always upset with Micah(the sheriff) because Lucas was always doing Micah’s job for him, thereby making a Mark an orphan. He was the man...

+1 agree totally with atbroome. Much better to catch it early and treat(with whatever means) than to wait. Especially now when blood pressure that is considered borderline for the FAA is much higher than what is ideal(120/70 or less). If you want to fly for a long time, get BP to ideal, as well...

A cardinal seems like the plane for the OP, but are they affected by the AD on cantilever wings as the 210 is or is that AD a very big deal? I have a 172 and bonanza, I love the bonanza but most my passengers prefer the 172 due to the claustrophobic nature of low wings in general and not being...

I agree with the others who doubt if she will change. My first wife(now deceased), had so many reasons to dislike flying, I only took her up one time, and we turned back within 15 minutes. She did not like loud noises, would get motion sickness even in cars, did not like loss of control, would...

Not sure about cross wind, tail wind etc, but it looked to me he was running out of runway due to whatever reason and tried to forced it onto the runway. Easy to lose control when the wing is still trying to fly and you’re trying to steer.

I would give no value to the top overhaul, would be suspicious how well the owner maintained the plane since the plane was close to TBO and he chose to top. Very few would top a run out engine(even Mike Busch would replace a cylinder that was beyond TBO before he would TOP all the cylinders)...

In England, you are a mr/mrs/ms till you graduate from medical school, then you are a Dr, but if you continue in your training and become a surgeon, then you are referred to as a mr/mrs/ms again.

I’ve owned them all, Zulu 3 for me, my wife loves her Sierra’s, even better than my Zulu’s, in fact it’s the only headset she has never complained about.

There is no book on how to raise kids. You can over protect them, or you can try to raise them to be independent. you can provide a safe haven or you can expose them to “real life“. Not one size fits all parents or kids. How one handles “life” is an individual decision for each parent, and...

The only thing ‘golden age’ about aviation is the age of most of the pilots.
