Do sport pilot first. Then, if you want, you can figure out the medical for a Class 3.

Nah, Dan is out there trying to make money using an addictive YouTube algorithm. YT is rife with these "influencers." But I guess if you have no other way to make a living, the grift can be good.

Not that I’m an expert, but maybe a quicker mechanism to clear airmen to return to service than years and thousands of dollars in medical appointments to learn some coping mechanisms for depression instead of waiting six months and then taking mushrooms for the first time.

Dude said that “approximately six months ago he became depressed.” But sure, it’s not a mental health issue.

I reiterate my comments earlier in this thread. Maybe if he didn’t fear the FAA taking his livelihood away for going to therapy appointments to treat his depression, he might have not started using mushrooms. Just a thought.

Never said doing so shouldn't come without consequences. Just try to not make it a $10,000 and years long affair for seeing a therapist 3 or 4 times for situational anxiety/depression because your wife or girlfriend left you. You know, a more reasonable approach.

Ah, OK. Feel free to respond when you get the details.

Thankfully no one was hurt, but this is yet another example of the consequences of the FAA's awful policy on mental health. The FAA would rather incentivize a pilot with mental health issues to not seek help because the alternative is expensive and job jeopardizing. Sad.

Looks like Racine Sport Flyers is permanently closed and looking for an alternative. Anyone have recommendations? Everything in the area looks to be private only other than Cub Air Flight. Would prefer something more high tech than the Cub, but obviously will be happy with whatever I can get.

Referencing the Holocaust in this context really proves why you shouldn’t ever fly a plane. Read up on some history. Race ain’t equal to an unfortunate medical diagnosis, buddy. Better idea is to find a hobby that better suits your situation instead of being inflammatory. Maybe it’s you who...

This. Get a top tier criminal defense attorney stat and don’t waste your time on this forum.

Proving something wrong shouldn’t be a requirement, it should have to be proved to be correct. Especially with the connection he’s making that somehow a vaccine caused a plane crash.

What an incredibly asinine take.

It's astounding to me that in an industry/hobby that requires such strict adherence to the rules and guidelines, someone actively pushes back when they get an answer they don't like. Gibberishusername - you probably won't listen to this, but my free advice is to listen to Bruce. He's an...
