Several years ago, I went to the derm and the derm looked at a suspicious mole and advised me to remove it. Do I need to report this to the FAA? Does this count as a surgery? I don't have the medical records but will try to get them.

For those of us flying small planes, all this would be accomplished if we'd just get ride of that stupid, archaic, @$#%!^& requirement for a 3rd class before Basic Med. Basic Med physicians can apply modern medical knowledge and personal knowledge of the patient to render an appropriate...

...and outcomes. Nobody should be tempted to lie about a history of a mis-diagnosis that is decades old. Nobody should be scared to have a mole removed because it might possibly be more than .75mm thick and trigger the SI requirement. There should be a reasonable process for getting a 2nd or...

...I was providing illegal instruction? If so, then say so. If not, then stop shadowboxing with that "well ackshually..." interpretation whack-a-mole. The scope of my comment was limited to providing an IPC. I've already explained why I think that distinction matters, and why you bringing up...

DMCA takedown requests work. There was once a video of mine that made the rounds and made me the most hated person at Citroen... spent a couple of days playing whack-a-mole with DMCA takedowns until it finally just all moved to Eastern Block websites that just don't care.

...take it off and re-seat it properly tomorrow, and hopefully that will fix it. But, it's also pretty clear that I'll be playing a game of whack-a-mole on air leaks, and I think I'm going to try to go through different areas of the bus and just make sure everything is tightened. The old bus...

Paging @Brad Z . I think Robin is correct, but our resident FAA mole and Basic Med resource may want to comment.

There was a time in my career that night IMC in a single was no big deal. Mountains were mole hills. Then I gained a little experience. I went to a couple funerals. I made a few mistakes that were very similar to those my dead friends made but I somehow lived. I have had an amazing run. My...

...your flight suit so everyone knew not to put you on the schedule and you ended up making popcorn in the squadron bar. I proactively brought up a mole with a Flight Surgeon who’s response was “we can biopsy it, but if it comes back melanoma, you’ll face a Medical Evaluation Board”. There’s...

...for flying since Aug around here. I have flown everyday since Aug 3rd. I am on a little "bender", but getting a little tired. It is in the river bottom. The weather has been so good that I haven't had to tie it down and don't even need to chalk it. Settles down in the mole tunnels nicely. lol

Wife had surgery. A concerning mole on her shoulder that had grown down. Took her home and went to CVS to get the pain and antibiotics filled. I was told that they needed to call the doctor and get it cleared because they thought the pain pills was too strong and insurance and the pharma...

...approaches and have reliable updated equipment for that, how would you go about it? I'm trying to plan ahead so I don't have to play whack-a-mole doing piecemeal upgrades, while also not breaking the bank by dropping money for functionality I don't need. Additionally any recommendations on...

You need to put some of your tasks on automatic so you can do them without having to concentrate on them. That will allow you to relax a bit while focusing on whatever is important at the moment. The best way I found to do that was to chair fly. A lot. Sit in a chair at home, close your...

Separating out the effects of wind shifts and turbulence from pilot input can be difficult. You need to find very smooth conditions. I have lived in the desert SW, and those conditions do exist, probably around early morning or dusk. Common mistakes are gripping the yoke too hard with your...

...become hyper-focused on one thing at a time, and in doing so, struggle with other peripheral cues and references. It's been like a game whack-a-mole mastering all 3-parts of the landing, (1) round out, (2) level flight and (3) flare, lol. Once I seem to get one, I struggle with another. Right...

skin eval, mole ck ... all ok

How should I put down a Dr. visit for a mole check/skin exam? Should I put down "routine exam"? or "mole check" and the DNP wasn't concerned about my moles. I want to put down accurate info so as to not get a letter from the FAA asking for more info. Thanks for the time.
