    sp (dr Many Drs really don't understand what a mess you'd be in if you failed a physical. You must beat it into their heads that you MUST NOT fail a physical at least ion the FAA forms.>> What an odd attitude. None of that is the doctors concern. All he does is ensure that you conform to the criterion laid down by the appropriate authority. If you dont qualify that is your concern not his. Would you want a commercial pilot flying you who has faulty eyesight but got the OK because he explained to the doctor that he wouild be out of a job if he failed? Same apples Cheers Pat

Well, a commercial pilot flying hundreds of passengers is one thing; a private pilot flying a light plane for fun is another. Indeed, many disqualifying conditions can be waived with a special issuance, but it can be a long expensive process that many pilots might not want to go to the expense of, if the alternative is to fly as a Sport Pilot. I don't think you should go to your AME for a "preliminary" physical; you may put them in a difficult ethical situation. If you have any doubts, go to your regular doctor and ask him to check you to the FAA standards (they must be published somewhere). -Dana -- When Columbus came to America, there were no taxes, no debts, and no pollution.

    sp (dr I was pleased when SP became law. Also ironic that I made my first (lega) flight in my MkIII the first day it took effect. Matter of fact I believe I was the first guy to fly in that category, early that dewy morning. Some fellow in CA claimed the same thing but given the time zone difference..... it was dark there when I lifted off.

    [quote="slyck(at)frontiernet.net"]never confuse passing a flight physical with being healthy.

This is is how I think about this issue (YMMV and just MHO): - if it's on the list of things that are disqualifying, even if I think it's stupid, the chances are it could be a safety issue. It's like AC 43.13 - most of the construction/inspection techniques for airplanes are in there because some poor sot flew an airplane into the ground. I'd be willing to bet many of the disqualifying medical conditions have similar roots. - There are other ways to get off the ground once you've gotten your health back regardless of whether FnAA still wants you on the ground or not. In fact, these choices (sport pilot, sailplanes) are better in that the responsibility for medical cert. rests on the individual much moreso, which is where that responsibility should be IMO. - regardless, we fly for fun and it's no fun, in my experience, flying when you're in poor health. What's the point? When I got sick in 2000, I grounded myself for almost a year. Hardly missed it, tho, because I wasn't in any condition to enjoy it anyway. That still holds true today - if I'm not physically up to it I don't go up. I'm nursing a lower back injury right now as I type and not flying because of it. Even flying ain't no fun with a sledgehammer lodged in one's coccyx anyway ;). So my view is health first, then flying afterwards......

    From: "JetPilot" <orcabonita@hotmail.com>
    For good video on Youtube, upload it in High Definition. DIVX, which shows up as an MPEG 4 file seems to be the best quality for the size. I upload my videos in full High Definition, which is 10801920 in size. My 10 minute Kolb video in HD was around 500 mb, it takes a while to upload, but its worth the effort. It took about a week, but the magic " Watch in HD " appeared at the bottom :) One thing about you tube, when you watch the video, make sure you click " Watch in High Quality " at the bottom right of the picture in blue, or " Watch in HD ", whichever one is there. If you do not do this, the quality of the video will really suck [Evil or Very Mad] If you do not see the " Watch in HD " or " Watch in High Quality " at the bottom right, upgrade to the latest version of Flash Player, its free and fast to do.

    GrantR, Good to see you got a camera and are posting videos. DIVX seems to be the best quality for the file size, it shows up as an .mpeg 4 when I make the movie in Pinnacle Stuido 11. My 10 minute video was 500 MB. Make sure you make the video size in full 1080i HD so that it will play in HD in YouTube. That is a video size of 10801920. It took mine a week to come up in HD on you tube, it was there as a regular video first, then one day the "Watch in HD" appeared. With that camera, you should be able to get some really good quality videos from your Kolb. Mike -------- &quot;NO FEAR&quot; - If you have no fear you did not go as fast as you could have !!!

    You guys want to talk about landing videos. Here is a video clip John Bickham made when I landed at his strip for the Nauga Flyin 2008. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAd10ZDKuwM I approached steep (got to to get over the trees and power line) and was ready to touch down at the approach end of the 1500 ft strip. Rather than ground taxi all the way to the south end, I decided to air taxi, in ground effect, with minimum power, at about 30 mph, full flaps, fully controlable. Looks like I "air taxiied" (hovered) a good way down the strip. Kolbs are fun! And.........I did it without any assistance from ___ ___'s. You'll have to fill in the blanks. john h Bored in hauck's holler, alabama

    Gang: I took this clip of my old flying buddy, John W, at the 2007 Kolb Homecoming, Labhart Field, Kentucky. We could not predict the future. This clip is sort of a farewell clip from John W, as he disappears into the fog after landing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Tf2pG9mH5M&feature=related john h hauck's holler, alabama
