It seems to be "common knowledge" that many pilots do lie, but I never hear of actual convictions. I would expect convictions to be rare. It is difficult to prove, since your medical records are confidential. Usually, if drugs such as anti-depressants show up in your medical tests they just deny a medical certificate. One problem is just remembering when you went to the doctor to see if that mole had grown any three years ago. Filling out those medical forms implies that you have either a perfect memory or that you keep far better medical records than the average Joe. I figured this one out!!! Just before my FAA medical I go to my Dr. and ask for the "flow sheet" off the front of my chart. I don't fill in anything on the medical and hand the sheet to the AME and ask him what I should put down. They don't want to know about PAP smears, mamograms or any of those "fun" things, but they do want, gee, I don't remember what they wanted. The flow sheet really helped as I seemed to have forgotten a number of things. Margy That said, you are playing with your own life and with the lives of others if you are not medically fit to fly. |
