If this is about John Miller I spent time with him a couple of weeks ago and mentally there is no doubt he is more than capable of flying his Bonanza IFR. Physically he looks and acts in better shape than someone 25 years his junior. He talked about his blood pressure and other vitals and they were good for a 40 year old. I'd let him fly my plane any day, anywhere, anytime. "Gig 601XL Builder" wr.giacona@coxDOTnet wrote in message news:Tte3f.26988$b65.7210@okepread01... I know the idiot we all know as Skylune was making fun of this older pilot but if you read the story that goes with the picture it is pretty good. It is basically a story about the aging of the pilot population and here I quote... QUOTE It's not the only thing keeping Miller from getting behind the yoke, however. His medical certificate expired in July, and the doctor who has signed off on him for years is reluctant to do so now, he says. "He knows I'll pass it; I've been passing it every year for years," said Miller, who still flies, but only with another pilot next to him. Miller is trying to find another doctor who will vouch for him. "I've just been given the runaround," he said. /Quote Does a AME have the right to just not pass someone if they pass all the tests and have no disqualifying medical condition?

news:Tte3f.26988$b65.7210@okepread01... [...] Does a AME have the right to just not pass someone if they pass all the tests and have no disqualifying medical condition? Of course not. Nor is it clear what the motive might be for an AME to choose to do otherwise. On the other hand, it's possible that the person quoted isn't telling the whole story, and that there's a good reason his current AME isn't willing to sign him off. Or perhaps he's simply run into the same red tape anyone who isn't a slam-dunk for medical certification runs into; it doesn't mean they don't meet the standards to receive a medical, just that they may have more paperwork and medical exams to complete. The text you quoted provides only one side to the story, and not much of that side either. I wouldn't waste much time worrying about the specifics, without having the full story from both sides.
