I recieved an inquiry from an attorney who sent me a four (Ino, actually, five) page parsed argument as to why he had NOTHING after having lived through a post COVID PE. I wrote back outlining what was going to be requried, but declining to engage. He responded with personal attacks. Now what...

I’m working off a pretty basic IPad so I put the link on my homepage...see signature line..... Pretty tough but now we know the effort might not be ruinous....

I’ve been gettin ICON promotional email all week. 120 mins ago, on repeat of two crashed in the woods about a mile N of KPWK, inbound. Pilot radioed the tower that he was down.... pand was taken to the hospital about 30 minutes ago.... Guess there’s not gonna be a promotional tour this weekend......

So, it's after hours and I get a call when I am at the bank (5:30) and the caller is not known to me and he wants to ask a question. I explain that it’s after hours, I’m in a quiet public place where everyone is going to hear, and I have no relationship to him, and That I do within reason...

This SI was made possible by the airman's planning a vacation leave, essentially self grounding, going to get the necessary evaluations, and getting it adjudicated. He refused to answer inaccurately again. No days of lost work. This was provoked by the indictments of the four ATPs, as you can...

So I have been corresponding with an airman want-to-be. He reports DUI 2002 and 2004. He refuses to answer my three time inquiry into did he blow- noting that they have been expunged. Two DUIs and inability to prove both < 0.15 BAC means HIMS evaluation. In the discussion, I describe the...

So I could not tell if I was getting trolled or it was for real: I recently received an inquiry from "a F.O." who was grounded for cocaine in his urine. The story was he went to a party and he knew it was being used, but he says he did not partake. At first I was sympathetic and was going to...

As you all know, PBOR will still send your National DL databank record to FAA every 2 years. I received an inquiry today from a fellow who has two DUIs, both under 0.15, about ten years apart. When I told him he had a problem, he replied he did not, and that a sobriety program and psych eval...

I am just so tired of this. So very tired. sigh.

I have a former colleague (a neurologist) who is stymied at the local flight school. He is at 30 hours and has not soloed. Looking at his logbook, 30 hours over a year. Not much progress. Doesn't fly enough. He's in solo medical practice and can't get away but for weekends, but the weather has...

As of the end of the day I have ten airmen who cannot be issued due to OKC's medical officers not being there. They are accepting and scanning documents, but that's all. sigh. this sucks.

Okay, for all of you who keep saying that FAA will do nothing n response to the persistently HIGH rate of PVT ASEL accidents, here it comes..... and we only have three days left.... Comment Period Open for New Airman Certification Standards An FAA/industry working group has...

This is progress. Small but everything helps. Diabetes with a FBG below 126, and on metformin only HbA1c less than 6.5, is an "issueable" w/ SI if certain conditions are met. Migraines are much easier for those who are doing well Asthma Criteria for who needs an SI are much clearer. Glaucoma...

The EAA quietly announces (buried on page 117) that the tents/picket fences etc along 18/36 are gone for good. Those of you who follow it, the "fat Cat" row with the white picket fence, and $700 seats at the BEST possible areas for view the show, "will not return". Rod was just so...

11 hours after this receipt, Airport Improvement funds were used to destroy the airport. http://www.eaa.org/news/2013/2013-03-27_flyover-planned-for-meigs.asp

Since all of the following is True, there is no risk of libel. I reserved a car at Signature PWK for Thanksgiving day, 2012, no VISA required. I never made it as my transponder failed. So we drove to Thanksgiving dinner. Last week I get a collection call, not even identifying the company nor...
