    History of PVCs

    This should be reviewed favoroably unless there is what is called "ventricular discompaction". Read the echo report CAREFULLY for those two words. Unless there is a history and certification diagnosis of Coronary disease, the lab should NOT be required.

    More Change at FAA medical

    IMO this was not a color vision accident. It was a crew exhaustion and slop accident. None of the three crewmembers even recalled seeing the VASI.

    Soda vision

    Is the condition…amblyopia? If so, and if the good eye has a totally normal humphrey 24-2 Visual field (you test both individually, you need a good eye and a weak eye map, both), you can get the “one eye” ride and that weak eye is never tested again…..
