Because of what Bob said. Interesting that the OP used careless instead of care less though.

I went through almost exactly what you described except for one added thing and do not have the eye thing. I had to switch AME's this time because my past one retired. My recommendation is to search out someone in your area and ask to have a talk with him or her before you schedule so that you...

I'm in a 5 person partnership with a 1976 182P, and I will get you the numbers at some point, but all of us pay $100/hr to fly wet and $150 a month for our fee. We have a small loan that some of this goes to. The rest is for hangar, insurance, annual and so on.

It's been quite some time since I took my private check ride, but isn't preparing a flight plan (maybe not activating it) one of the things you do for the check ride? I would have assumed you have already prepared one.

I started in a Tomahawk. I know.

It's been some time since I was a student. Isn't the student certificate the first medical certificate that you receive?

My father has been in this air park for several years now and loves it.

I tried corresponding with the FAA so that I could have a list of the AME's findings so that I can be prepared to answer them, and I received a response. He didn't mention a thing about the AV Nicking.

My take on it was that my blood pressure wasn't perfect, the introduction of the diabetes medicine came up, he wasn't all that happy about my weight and the mention of possible sleep apnea. He then looked at my eyes with the typical medical instrument for several minutes and then decided to get...

The AME that I was going to for years asked me two years ago as to why I was now on high blood pressure medication and I told him that I noticed that my blood pressure was high when I had an injury. I tested again and it was high, so I went to my family care doctor. My weight was up and we...

Thanks for the information. I really didn't expect this outcome and will work though this.

This was a difficult one because the AME that I've used for 20 plus years had retired or sold his business and is no longer doing medicals. His practice was sold to an urgent care. I asked a fellow pilot and CFII that does my flight review who he uses and I made an appointment with him. I...

I didn't know that there were different levels of deficiency. I just assumed if the AME had a finding and did not issue the medical, that you would go through a process to show that the finding has either been resolved or that they place a limitation. Yes, but the answer is that they have a...

Does anyone have a ballpark time as to how long it takes the FAA to contact someone that has been issued a medical deficiency?

I'm not an insurance guy but if you're worried about exceeding your insurance coverage and the potential club out of pocket money, can you buy an umbrella policy for the club if it does exceed coverage?

Don't forget to look at www.aso.com. Very nice site and they have listings that the others do not sometimes.

Are you saying that you do not think that the lender is going to ask for more than the plane to be collateral?

Not trying to be a ball buster here, but have you flown a Cherokee 6 or any HP plane during your training? I would think you would want to get some hours under your belt before going that route. When I went from a 172 to a 182, I had some good hours in and it was an easier transition than I...

The Lake Placid airport is nice too. They have made upgrades over the last few years. Very close to downtown and the skiing is great. Highly recommended.

Well, if you consider 10 minutes total of landing and take off.
