. .. Regrettably all a current medical certificate is useful for is knowing that the recipient WAS fit to fly at the time that they took the medical. Half an hour later, who knows. It's actually a little better than that. Since you must report all medications you are taking, the medical examiner can assess if one, or a combination of several medications, might impair your coordination and/or judgment which could affect your ability to act as PIC (or to drive a car for that matter). On the other hand, the AOPA is fond of (correctly) reporting that there is no statistical correlation between a pilot having a medical certificate and accidents due to medical causes. Tony V.

Then passed out in mens room at the FBO from some complication from his (up to then) undetected prostate cancer (It was never clear to me excatly why he passed out...) -- Geoff The Sea Hawk at Wow Way d0t Com remove spaces and make the obvious substitutions to reply by mail When immigration is outlawed, only outlaws will immigrate. |
