Disclosing Viagra or Cialis

I'm just looking for recomendations here.

If you are prescribed Viagra or Cialis (in my case I have a standing prescription because of prostate removal), when you fill out the Form FAA 8500-8 should you just list the drug or include a note that you refrain from taking it so many hours before flight?

Thanks,

But trying to join the Mile High Club is, at least while PIC, so y'all be careful out there! Seriously, though, glad you found something that works, and that you don't have to be making that sort of decision!

Wait, seriously? Where is this in the FARs? And what about auto pilots?

Can you provide a link to that NTSB report? Otherwise it is still just a rumor.

THE PRIVATE PILOT AND A PILOT RATED PASSENGER WERE GOING TO PRACTICE SIMULATED INSTRUMENT FLIGHT. WITNESSES OBSERVED THE AIRPLANE'S RIGHT WING FAIL IN A DIVE AND CRASH. EXAMINATION OF THE WRECKAGE AND BODIES REVEALED THAT BOTH OCCUPANTS WERE PARTIALLY CLOTHED AND THE FRONT RIGHT SEAT WAS IN THE FULL AFT RECLINING POSITION. NEITHER BODY SHOWED EVIDENCE OF SEATBELTS OR SHOULDER HARNESSES BEING WORN. EXAMINATION OF THE INDIVIDUALS' CLOTHING REVEALED NO EVIDENCE OF RIPPING OR DISTRESS TO THE ZIPPERS AND BELTS.

The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows:

THE PILOT IN COMMAND'S IMPROPER INFLIGHT DECISION TO DIVERT HER ATTENTION TO OTHER ACTIVITIES NOT RELATED TO THE CONDUCT OF THE FLIGHT. CONTRIBUTING TO THE ACCIDENT WAS THE EXCEEDING OF THE DESIGN LIMITS OF THE AIRPLANE LEADING TO A WING FAILURE.
 
Lesson learned: Don't even think about trying this without an A/P and don't bump the A/P cutoff switch when engaged in such activities.
 
I've talked to folks who've flown commercial mile-high flights in airplanes such as a PA-32. Yes, there ARE operators like this all over the place.

They mentioned that the inflight turbulence they had to deal with was usually mild, but sometimes moderate. Not sure I'd trust any autopilot that much.

I was just kidding but if I were to plan such an activity involving a required crewmember it would make sense to pick a day without significant turbulence.
 
In a DA40 all of this activity would be limited to back seat passengers (due to the control stick being in the way) so another reason for the stellar safety record of Diamond aircraft.

Bet you could use the same logic for the 172! :lol:

The front seats are much more restrictive in a DA40. It is a fairly tight fit just to sit there. No control stick to get in the way in a 172. If I was going to attempt that maneuver I would go with the Cessna.

This is not avaition related, but it follows the theme of where this thread has gone.

All COP even Army MP cars have two-way radios for communications. When I was stationed at Fort Ord, California this actually occured.

Dispatch had not heard from one particular MP car in a while and attempted to contact it. No response from the MP driving the car. Over the next few minutes dispatch tried again several time and still got no response. Dispatch then notified the watch commander who, fearing the worse sent all available MP cars and vehicles from the MP company to look for this MP Car. After about an hour the MP car and the the two occupants, the Army MP and a young lady were extracated from the locked back seating area. Police car back seats are not able to be opened from the inside as normally persons in custody ride back there.

This MP and his girlfriend wanted some time together and got in the back seat and one of them closed the back door.

The story was all over Fort Ord, but what ever happened to the MP was not divulged.

I thought this was going to be a MASH-like event, with Hot Lips and Frank Burns making out in the tent with the PA button depressed. :)

Gary, I think you just discovered the poor safety record of Cirrus - too much room available with the side stick!
 
You people are baaaaad.

A serious question devolves into smirking retorts. Oh well.

I've heard that ED meds can affect vision, or color vision, and there are recommendations to discontinue use before flying.
 
Yeah huh, terrible. Shame on all you.

My problem is PD (Participational Dysfunction.) Once a pill is developed for that, not only will I pre-order a year's supply, but I'll buy stock in the company.
