Clinton Birch LAK 12 The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause (s) of this accident as follows: The pilot's inability to maintain aircraft control due to an incapacitating cardiac event. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's poor decision to fly with known serious medical issues. |

From what I understand, I had a similar situation to Dick's and wrote
about it in my newsletter. Before having cataract surgery, I had an EKG at my doctor's office and failed it. He sent me for a stress test ( treadmill) which I also failed. They scheduled me for a cathiterization and a possible insertion of a stent or bypass surgery a week or so after the stress test. Chest pains a couple days later caused an quick run to the emergency room, and the camera-up-the-artery test, which showed I had no problem. The issue was caused by some medication I was taking. The lesson, is if they do the tests and perhaps something is wrong, don't let them put you off for a week. Do the necessary tests and procedures right away.
