What I meant by fatigue being similar to DUI is physiological. The effects of being fatigued, not just simply tired, has been shown to be similar in nature and function to being chemically impaired, whether it be drugs, alcohol, or even a combo of the two. There have been recent studies...

Then I guess you would be one of those people that would fit into the "exception policy" and are cognizant of the fact that you would give a false positive. I feel it would be safe to assume that you would definitely notify any Officer you encounter that you have that condition so they could...

If you are that tired to where your vision mimics being intoxicated I would think it be fair to say you probably shouldn't be driving a motor vehicle. The one study I have seen about being tired had people that had been up for 24 hrs +. Being that fatigued and then getting behind the wheel of a...

While I totally agree with getting Court on your day off sucks, I would argue the assertion that the legal/illegal BAC level is arbitrarily set is incorrect. There have been countless studies conducted to find the "best" limit where the largest population of society would fall into as being...

Sounds like the Officer didn't administer the entire FST if you are saying he relied on just the fact she could not maintain balance. Of all the FST tasks the HGN is the most accurate indicator of impairment, but even then you could get false positives with certain medical conditions. The HGN is...

Obviously those situations would fall into the exceptions category and offer reasonable explanations for whatever caused an officer to suspect possible impairment. If those issues were enough to cause them to get pulled over then I would question if they should really be driving in the first place.

I have an entire torso of scars and internal injuries that would contradict your assertion that DUI is a "victimless" crime.

You can decline to take the FST and also refuse to take the breath or blood test, but you should know that by accepting your driver's license you have given implied consent that you will submit to those tests if asked by a law enforcement officer. Failure to test normally results in an...

I used to fly out of Shelbyville about 10 years ago. It’s a haul from Antioch. Smyrna is closer. Have flown out of MBT a time or two as well.

I started building an RV8 about 10 years ago but military deployments had put it on the back burner. My wife “organized” my garage and I haven’t made the time to find all the pieces.

I normally fly out of Smyrna. All this corona crap has put a damper on that though.

Hehehehe, v-tail is way sexier than a Cessna...lol

Does anyone happen to have the DVDs for the Instrument/Commercial program that Jeppesen put out back in the early 2000s? Google has let me down in finding anyone that sells them. I have the text book and syllabus but cannot find any place to buy the videos that are referenced in either book :(...

I use XP11 and Pilotedge as well. Can't beat the combo. I try to stick to planes that I am familiar with in RL, or similar, so it makes flying them in the sim a little less stressful. Depending on what you fly IRL it's usually easy to find a payware aircraft of the same type with similar...

I am trying to remain level headed and take my time looking at planes. But the kid in me wants to just rush out and buy one...lol

Definitely let me know when you all make it up there again. I flew in to Tullahoma during the AOPA Fly-In with a friend from my EAA Chapter and it was amazing.

Thanks Ryan. I am down that neck of the woods in Dunlap once a month for drill. I command the Combat Engineer Company down there. :)

Thanks Paul :)

Howdy from Music City USA, Nashville, TN. :) My name is Brian Murphy, and I am an Aviation-aholic. I've been flying off and on since the early 90's, more off than on due to life, and have recently started back. I finished my Private back in 2008 after starting it in '92. A couple of Post 9/11...
