And for that matter, I think I've heard of people taking their PPL in
complex aircraft and getting the endorsement at the same time they
got their license. It's not common, but I believe it's been done.
That's what I'd want to do. Train and get all necessary
certifications in the very aircraft I plan to fly.
Then you're an even bigger idiot than I previously thought.
That's actually a good question, and I had to do some searching to
get the exact answer. (This is all based off of the Mass. Medical
Board's rules, if anyone is interested.) There don't seem to be any
conditions that are automatic DQs, but any physical or mental
condition which in the Board's opinion could interfere with the
practice of medicine is grounds for denial of a license to practice.
Short, but it potentially covers a lot of ground.
Sounds mostly like certain mental illnesses and contagious diseases.
What, like the one you have?
So lepers and psychotics need not apply. But hypertension, migraines,
a single seizure at the age of 12, or a prescription for an anxiolytic
20 years ago presumably are not obstacles.
Piper Cub a piece of junk?
I exaggerate for emphasis, but it's a bit too small and primitive for
my tastes.
It's not primitive, fjukkwit. And you couldn't handle one.
Man, where's your sense of beauty?
Yellow is just not my color.
Seriously, to each his own. But if anyone offered me a chance to get
in an honest-to-Yeager Piper Cub and buzz around, I'd be out the door
so fast you'd never see me going.
You have a problem with Beechcraft Barons?
I don't, but you couldn't even get one to the end of the runway.
Fjukkwit.
