So a BFR only comes into play when flying without an instructor as far as logging PIC is concerned?

So, I've been what one may call a "career" instrument student for 9 years now, all due to lack of funds. Well, I've started back flying recently in a C172 (most of my training in PA28, received my PPL flying a PA28 but soloed in C172). Anyway, all of my previous IR training done in a PA28...

Dr. Bruce helped me with my case, which I had SSRI use that was very inconsistent and never stuck with the meds due to side effects. All I had to do was get a letter from my primary care physician saying that I no longer require the use of SSRIs and exhibit no need for them (paraphrasing...

Doc, IMO, it's entirely too difficult to read into someone's head based on reading text on an internet forum, unless they specifically state it otherwise. People have different interpetations and it's difficult to analyze every aspect of a person's character solely via the internet, without a...

If you would like, I may have some non-rev tickets/buddy passes on Delta (since you live in ATL) left on Delta...quick flight to Peoria (and usually fairly empty). Saw Dr. Bruce earlier this year...WORTH the trip and more! Amazing doctor, dedicated to medically certify honest...

Although I am not an AME and have no where near the knowledge that he acquires, I believe you would only list the CURRENT medications that you are taking at the time of the medical. However, you would have to report the visit, what was done, etc. Beyond that and as far as any paperwork required...

I've always had issues wearing contacts but just suffered through the dryness that I felt when I wore them. I suffer from dry eyes but that could be due to my location (New Orleans) and our lovely climate combined with wearing contacts. I was always told to a) never wear your contacts...

I wanted to publicly thank Dr. Bruce for his assistance as I sought his help in obtaining a medical, after having been on and off of SSRIs wih diagnosis of fibromyalgia, anxiety, chronic prostatitis, TMJ, etc. I absolutely feared for my previous medical to expire. However, with Dr. Bruce's...

Although I don't suffer any blood pressure irregularities, I invested in the P90x workout program to combat muscle weakness, low energy levels, etc.. I must tell you that it is incredible of the results. This program is designed more for people who want to loose weight rather than bulk up...

Just got home from my ENT appointment. Everything went really well. This Doctor is very understanding and supportive of my passion for aviation, while being honest and knowledgeable at the same time. He doesn't think I have chronic sinusitis. I've tried Prilosec in the past when he wanted to...

Interesting. So, I am a bit confused going into this appointment this afternoon. What should I ask the ENT to perform so I can possibly confirm a diagnosis for FAA purposes of obtaining a medical? Considering deviated septum, constantly clearing my sinuses and swallowing the phlegm...

Thank you, Dr. Bruce! Scheduled to see ENT this afternoon and made it known to the receptionist that answered the phone call that I need a "full sinus evaluation for the FAA"...I'll be suprised if that part of the message was relayed to my doctor... I had an Upper GI endoscopy done last...

After compiling my medical records in preparation for my medical (have yet to schedule with AME...considering visiting an AME that is capable of handing possible tough medical cases such as Dr. Bruce himself), I noticed I had multiple trips to ENT in the past three years for possible allergies...

Although I see it is an "approved" medication, I was given Uroxatral to treat an inflamed prostate from a diagnoses of prostatitis (the doctor actually said I have chronic prostatitis). However, this was all due to possible bacteria infection, currently being treated with cipro. Anyhow, no...

This was years ago but a story I will never forget... I was flying around KNEW (New Orleans Lakefront) with my CFI in the pattern performing touch and goes in right-closed traffic for 36R in a Cessna (either 152 or 172). Due to the length the runways, 36R/18L was mainly used for smaller...

Everyone said it, KNEW is the closest for your purposes. I've trained with GCA and know the owner - great people and airplanes however fairly expensive particularly their insurance requirements. Fly By Knight (FBK) at KHDC (Hammond, albeit 35nm NW of NEW) has cheaper aircraft and the owner...

Do any of you know and/or could possibly recommend an AME in the Greater New Orleans area? My previous AME from when I was issued my last medical in Decemeber 2006 is apparently no longer praticing. I know where to obtain the list, and I do have the list, but I am looking for recommendations...

Sent you an email, Dr. Bruce.

I'm 23 years old and have had my PPL in 2005 with no additional ratings yet received. I received my Second Class medical on 12/2006 (expires 12/2011...correct?). Unfortunately, I have had some medical issues since my last issuance: First in or around 2007-2008, I was prescribed SSRIs by a...
