Interesting page about contrails and engine efficiency...https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/47773/how-does-engine-exhaust-temperature-affect-contrail-formation-and-why
and this from the EPA...

Well, at this point I'd drive there but I don't know what a BM is, at least the kind you're talking about. I'm trying to find someone before 2/18 and so far it's not working out. I like to keep my currency at Vectorair and that's coming up.
yes, I did "dump" it on them. Isn't every extra piece of paperwork at a doctor's office a "dump?" I took the time to "educate" but maybe your education is better and you printed yours out in color.
I just had a physical. The office doesn't want to deal with the FAA form. Awesome. I'm going to find an AME and get this stupid thing done the right way :) I know others have health issues or the potential for that but I should have just found another FAA doc since mine retired.
I suppose a PCP can apply their knowledge to flying and can be helped with the Basicmed checklist. I get your point that a PCP might do more tests and treatment than getting an AME to just pass/fail you.
mayoclinic says this about kidney stones. I see some things the FAA might be concerned...
