I obtained my commercial ticket in the spring of 2001. Within a month after, I severely injured my left leg caused by a medication I was taking. Over the next two years I couldn't even get myself into an airplane, much less fly one.
We have our own private airstrip on the family property so there is always something available to fly. Over the last year I have flown probably twenty hours or so but my medical has expired, and I need a flight review.
Me getting a medical is a pain in the you know what in it self. I have high blood pressure and I take a ton of medication to control it. I've had every kind of test known in an attempt to find out why my BP is so high. Everything they have done indicates that I'm fit as a bull.
My Doctor does not like airplanes, and He certainly doesn't like me flying around His hometown with a stiff leg and HBP. I know, I know, get another Doctor, but it aint that easy ok.
Anyway, I had a stress test last month and the Dr says I have the Heart of a teenager. So now is the time to get that done.
Now, about the flight review. I have a small library of aviation learning materials. The problem is that I work a sixty hour plus work week. Reading and studing is the last thing on my mind when I get home at night. In the thirty years I've been flying I have never seen any of the Kings materials. Is this something I could use to bring me back up to speed?
