I had been driving the 4 hours from daughter's house to mine after three cups of coffee with breakfast, a tall Starbucks latte along the way, followed by a big Dr Pepper a little later. That was the day I was told to switch to decaf. Never any danger. Easily explained because I had accounting of date and time. Watch that caffeine!</p><p><br /></p><p>BasicMed is a blessing for guys like me with minor cardiac treatments.

That's far from the truth. FAA aeromed serves a purpose, but it shouldn't apply to private pilots. BasicMed isn't perfect but it's the best solution we have now.

This thread is more than 2 years old.
It is very likely that it does not need any further discussion and thus bumping it serves no purpose. If you feel it is necessary to make a new reply, you can still do so though.
I am aware that this thread is rather old but I still want to make a reply.
