    Subject: Re:Lying on Medical
    --> RV-List message posted by: "LarryRobertHelming" <lhelming@sigecom.net> I believe the original lying thing was done by commercial pilots who lied to keep from being disqualified from and out of a job. They were not just risking their own lives, but all the passengers and crew. The insurance carrier would have fun with that one if they had 300 deaths to settle with. Same rules, different perspectives.

    --> RV-List message posted by: "Frank Stringham" <fstringham@hotmail.com> Hi to all If I were a rich man I would do a complete research of the files and determine how many accidents can be attribiuted to a medical problem. There would also be many underlying questions that would also be researched.......With that said my gut tells me it would be few. Ya I know that there is a control camp that wants even more stringent medicals and adjudication processes. Then there are guy like me that think that the Light Sport Drivers Lic. should have been extended to all private Lic. pilots. Let biannual flight review be the factor that determines our pilot skill and health acuity.

    --> RV-List message posted by: Paul Folbrecht <pfolbrecht@starkinvestments.com> Yeah, that's exactly how the rule ended up being written. Also, the way the forms are submitted electronically now, once you go in to the AME there's no backing out. The FAA will know you were there and if you end up having a disqualifying condition, you're SOL. I'm glad I probably won't have to deal with medical nonsense for decades yet (I'm 35). I feel for the guys that do.. all the guys who are completely safe yet harrassed by the FAA, that is. ~Paul ~9A QB #1176 RV Builder (Michael Sausen) wrote: >--> RV-List message posted by: "RV Builder (Michael Sausen)" <rvbuilder@sausen.net> > > Actually, I believe if you are denied a medical you are also disqualified for LSA so you would have to avoid getting the medical if you knew it would be denied.

    --> RV-List message posted by: "Dan Beadle" <Dan.Beadle@hq.InclineSoftworks.com> True - if you are denied, you cannot fly LSA on driver's license. But also, if you know that you have something disqualifying, you cannot fly LSA - Self Certifying. Same for FAA Medical - know you have a condition and you cannot fly, even if you are not being treated for it. In either case, if you have a problem (incident/accident) and you knowingly withheld information, you would be in violation and your insurance would most likely be invalid. FAA allows a tremendous number of drugs. Antidepressants aren't on the list. Easy to check the list. I had a student who was taking a mild antidepressant. He was able to get his medical. He had to be off the medication for 90 days and get cleared by his doctor. (Flying was such a high that he no longer needed the medication ;) Sailed through - with all the proper disclosures.

    From: "Vincent Osburn" <flyby41@earthlink.net>
    Subject: Re:Lying on Medical
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Vincent Osburn" <flyby41@earthlink.net> I had a friend who flew his RV for about 8 years and over 360 hours with no medical. He had a seizure just after completing his RV4. He was in a coma for 3 days. He believed that it was cause by aspartame better known as Nutra Sweet. He worked outdoors and consumed a lot of diet soda. A 6 pack of diet Pepsi every day. There is a big class action law suit on going about people who cannot tolerate aspartame. Few people know of this. There are many deaths believed to be attributed to aspartame. Anyway he avoided all substances believed to cause seizures in some people including MSG and he flew his plane when he felt perfectly well and in the mean time tried to regain his medical. He did quit flying about 2 years before succumbing to a fatal seizure which was about 10 years after his medical was denied. do not archive > [Original Message] > From: <Oldsfolks@aol.com> > To: <rv-list@matronics.com> > Date: 12/8/2005 7:41:06 PM > Subject: RV-List: Re:Lying on Medical > > --> RV-List message posted by: Oldsfolks@aol.com > > I wonder what the fine would be for flying with NO medical ?? > Might be worth trying it out.

It would be nice to have some enlightenment on mental health issues reach the FAA at some point because the current policy is rooted in the days of "Titticut Follies". A good place to start would be continuing the disqualifying nature of the drug for a period of time -- 6 months perhaps -- while doctors evaluate whether there are any side effects in the individual and, if not, so stating them. The one-size-fits-all method is antiquated and it would be enlightened if the FAA medical department could see fit to extent evaluations based on individual situations, just as it does for virtually every OTHER aspect of a pilot's medical. But I'm not holding my breath.

    From: "Valovich, Paul" <pvalovich@dcscorp.com>
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Valovich, Paul" <pvalovich@dcscorp.com> I posted this on the aeroelectronics board, but want to also get RV-specific opinions. After months of avionics dreaming it's time to make the hard decisions regarding the panel of my RV-8A QB. I understand the factors to be considered in flying an RV IMC, but want to have the capability to do so if for some reason I end up there - or decide it's a good idea. I'm a 7000+ hour former Navy jet guy so instrument training / experience isn't a limiting factor. And although $ is a consideration, it isn't the driver. And I plan to wire it myself. Two designs are in contention. The first is a dual GRT EFIS / Engine Monitor display with their internal GPS. Comm/Nav is a Gamin SL30. I will also have a panel-mounted Gamin 396. The second consists of dual Dynon 100's, with a Gamin 396, Gamin 106A and the SL30. I will have the Gertz heated pitot tube and the Advance Sport AOA, TruTrak ADI pilot for autopilot / attitude backup, and standard altimeter, airspeed and VSI backup gages. So the question for this august group (realizing that some of you may have very biased opinions): What has been the experience - good and bad - of the GRT and Dynon products (I realize I have to use the small screen Dynon experience base)? For those with biased opinions about "their" product, what do you like? What would you change? Thanks, Paul Valovich Booger Ridgecrest, CA 661-400-3640

After being turned over to tower controller asks me, "795, are you familiar with the airport?" with a tone that suggested to me that he wondered why we decided to land at a "Big Boy" airport (in a 152). I replied, "Well, yes, we're familar as we need to be." (dumb question to begin with, really, if I filed there of course I'm "familiar" with the airport in any sense that really matters) and then added a somewhat wry "We'd prefer to be landing at Meigs." He seemed very polite after that. :-} I bet those controllers really hate Daley for the increased GA traffic at Midway he's caused.

As a former USAF dude thanks for your service to the US even if you were Navy. Does Option 1 provide a legal CDI functionality? In both options you appear to not have IFR GPS capability. Is that acceptable? Note that with both options you may be able to fly a VOR approach with GPS inputs providing "situational awareness." Ron Lee

    --> RV-List message posted by: "Larry E. James" <larry@ncproto.com> I'm looking to purchase a nice, clean, and basic RV-4. I posted this on the Rocket-List a few weeks ago and now have a couple of contenders, but most aircraft I have looked at are something under a 6 or 7 out of ten. I'm looking for a 7 or better; preferably an 8 or better. Additional preferences include: O-320, FI, CS, no inverted systems, clean interior, clean paint, basic VFR or soft IFR. Things outside this are still considered; my primary consideration is build quality and current condition. If anyone knows of a -4 like this, I'd love to talk with them. Please feel free to email me directly at larry@ncproto.com or call 206-633-3111. Thanks a ton. -- Larry E. James Bellevue, WA
