Whatever happened, they didn't have much time to make a decision. I have no real experience in ASEL but my glider instructor taught me from day one to always verbally call out and finger-point landing spots progressively while under tow up until the safe turn-back altitude. Even if those landing...

"National Transportation and Safety Board (NTSB) investigations (2000-2015) have concluded that fatal aircraft accidents have been associated with pilots diagnosed with ADHD." With CAROL Search, there were 5943 fatal accidents between 2000-2015 with only ONE where the probable cause mentions...

I do not expect "retinal migraine" or "vasospasm" would appear anywhere in the written medical record, especially not as a diagnosis, but I will obtain records from each of these doctors to be sure. I get the feeling that waiting a bit would be wise, especially since this is no longer occurring...

It seems to have abruptly stopped occurring late last month after happening 13 times in August (knock on wood). Discussed the symptoms with the neuro ophthalmologist who did a slit lamp exam and told me everything looks healthy. He says he does not think it's "retinal migraine" (vasospasm). In...

Yes I certainly don't want to just waltz into the AME's office unprepared and botch it forever. Just to pass along my update - I just had my second (and likely final) follow-up with the neurologist. He doesn't know what the cause is. We discussed the possibility of it being retinal vasospasm...

If it is as black and white as you describe (although I'm not sure what 'central' means when the visual disturbance is so small) then there is a fair chance I'll end up having to find a school that will do a sport certificate unless this stops happening (with treatment or otherwise). That's...

That is a good point about the possibility of it not being caused by migraine. Given all of the negative tests there might also be a fair chance that this remains a mystery without diagnosis, but I am certain this is not a floater. I've read all of the FAA literature I could find, including the...

It was always a dream to fly, but never thought it would be an option financially. Recently, I came to the realization that I could comfortably afford private pilot lessons. So I built the home simulator, became a student of youtube, reread my FAA glider flying handbook from the last bout of...
