Not DUI checkpoints but still pertains to this conversation

I have a problem with this also. It seems like the FAA is going to conduct a study to find at which BMI sleep apnea is a likely problem. But instead of funding the study themselves, they are going to have pilots fund the study by requiring the screening at their expense.

BTW, Pilot is claiming a downdraft. Flight took place about 9:30 pm MDT(03:30 Zulu). Below are the METARs surrounding that time period. KSBS 240435Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 19/M07 A3023 RMK AO1 T01891068 KSBS 240415Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 19/M06 A3023 RMK AO1 T01931061 KSBS 240355Z AUTO...

I did too, but the mechanic said that according the to Lycoming AD that it was not necessary in this case. Attached is the AD. The mechanic said that the prop required "minor dressing" according to McCauley, and that did not trigger the AD.
