Pre-Flight
Dr. Bruce emailed me the temporary 3d Class Medical certificate issued today by the FAA. It has been 7 months almost to the day that I failed the medical. Not only do I want to thank our good doctor, but thanks to all of you that had recommended him. He cut through a lot of the obstacles imposed to protect the public. Also today, I visited with the cardiologist whose report convinced the FAA my heart does not impose an abnormal threat to the public.
He in very laymans terms so basic that even I could understand said, "Mr. Letzer, I wish all of my patients had a heart as strong as yours." He also said the prolapse (leaking heart valve) should not present any problem. See me in a couple of years.
Wednesday, if scheduling and weather cooperate, I will undergo a biannual flight review. Should I pass and that seems likely, as I have flown dual with this instructor for many hours with me doing all of the flying, I will operate an aircraft as PIC for the first time in over 10 years.
