| Subject: | Current Status of third class medical reform |
Hi All,
I'm switching hats here for a moment to my other pastime as a Senior
AME to bring you a brief update on the POBR2 reforms. I enclose
an article by Jim Frasier, the Federal Air Surgeon. I had several personal
chats with Dr. Frasier at the CAMA meeting last week and this article
tracks closely what he told me. I will only add that the expectation is that
the NPR and public comment process will probably exceed the one year
mandate (and Inhofe knew this going in), but the new FAA regs once
published in the Federal Register will supersede the "no enforcement" clause.
There is a lot in the air so to speak, that will not be settled until the major
insurance carriers and underwriters publish for guidance both for aircraft
hull insurance and for medical malpractice. I know the EAA says everything
will work out, but as the law is currently written with the exact wording of
the physician attestation at the end of the checklist, none of the docs I know
will be covered by insurance for signing it and fully expect to be a litigation
target as soon as there is a mishap. Oddly enough some senators attempted
to add liability protection for non-AMEs to the bill, but the committee rejected
that amendment. So as it stands, in section 7, AME, DARs and DPE as shielded
from civil actions, but not non-AME MDs. Further, according to the FAA
legal guys, doing the checklist medical exam (instead of an FAA 3rd Class),
is not considered being a representative of the FAA, so it will not be
covered by section 7. Catch 22.
I'm just laying out the situation as it exists this week. I will not response
to ad-homineum attacks.

Thanks for the update, IRA!! It seemed that this had gone into a =9C
Black Hole=9D and would not be seen again until a couple of thousand
pages of regs had been written, had you not come forward with your update.
Even if you can=99t show much progress, I and probably many more on
this list are interested in any tidbits of information that you can dole ou
t. Please fill us in whenever you receive an update.
Roger

>From what I heard, the refs are mostly
done and hew very close to the law congress wrote.
After all, 70 senators and 200 some odd congressmen
signed it. It has to wind its way through layers of
review at DOT etc before opening for public comment.

Efraim,
Your wish is my command :-)
Desoldering went well. Bob's suggestion to melt the solder and then wack
the pliers-holding-the-connector on the workbench did the trick much better
than the solder wick. I ended up with nice clean cups like this:
I stripped the wire to the length that would fit into the pin. Here is a
photo showing the scale (I am not going to solder this wire into the pin on
the end).
I set the wire into the pin and it stayed nicely in position all by itself,
making the soldering super easy.
Here is a photo with the red wire already soldered and the black wire set
in place, ready to be soldered.
With both soldered, I have connections that please me very much. They are
mechanically solid, which gives me confidence that these will last the life
of my airplane. (They actually look better in real life than in this photo,
which has some terrible reflections.)
Reinforcing my confidence in these connections, they were very quick. Since
the wire set neatly and securely into the cups, total time to strip the
wire, set it into the cup, and apply solder was well under 60 seconds.
Previously, I had been fighting the wire and fighting with clamps to get
everything to stay in position so that I could solder; it was taking me
5-10 minutes per pin with lots of do-overs.
Hat tip again to all of you who helped me. Thank you!

One more photo. I disassembled and reassembled the first connector that I
did (more than a week ago). I am much happier with this iteration:
These wires are for the pitot tube heater. It draws 12 amps so I am using
three pins each for power, plus one pin for the status lamp. These three 20
AWG pigtails join to 12 AWG wire which runs the length of the wing.
Cheers,
