    What if You’re Philosophically Opposed to AA?

    Again, AA is not the only recovery program recognized by the FAA. There are other options.

    Starting PPL process - 15 years post-substance abuse

    ^^^^^ Pretty much my course, minus a DUI. I had a HIMS psychiatric evaluation and all the other documentation in hand, sans the urine screens, prior to even contacting a HIMS AME. After 4 months of following protocol, a letter recommending issue was sent to OKC and just over 3 months after that...

    GI275’s and Garmin Connext wireless DB update/GTN synchronization

    Yea….frustrating to spend the money on a 510 and only get BT capability. I would think that repetitive insertion and removal of the 510 would increase chances of it failing. The only reason I bought one is for wireless updates and flightplan transfers. Now, it seems that the 275 can handle the...

    GI275’s and Garmin Connext wireless DB update/GTN synchronization

    More careful reading of the manual confirms what you are saying Eric; the 275’s can synch from another Garmin LRU but not send databases to the LRU. Hopefully my FS510 is still reliable after all the software updating associated with this panel upgrade is completed.

    GI275’s and Garmin Connext wireless DB update/GTN synchronization

    Thanks Eric. I have a Flightstream 510 that has been flawless in updating a GTN650. I was hoping that I could update all 3 Garmin units at once via Connext and a 275. I hope that the FS510 will allow updating all three. I’ll know by the end of the week.

    PIREP--- SPORTY'S PJ2 Radio

    I’ve heard of more negative experiences vs positive ones when researching different hand held backup radios. Of course bad news travels twice as far and twice as fast as good news. I ended up with a Yaesu. The interface is definitely not one I would desire for a rarely used radio that I would...

    GI275’s and Garmin Connext wireless DB update/GTN synchronization

    I posted this on BT as well. I am having a pair of GI275’s installed with an existing GTN650 in the panel. In my review of the 275 operating manual it appears that I can update databases wirelessly via Connext. It appears that it will synchronize with the GTN. If that is accurate then I will be...

    C29 Middleton Muni/Morey Field PIREP

    Never considered Baraboo. I do have a room booked in Waunakee so I will fly in to Morey or MSN. If I can get a reasonable Turo or rental car that can handle my gear, I’ll go with Morey. I know I can get a ‘normally’ priced rental at the terminal at MSN, avoiding the FBO ‘tax’. When it gets...

    Naw…that image was much too cute. I do appreciate Janice’s performances; she really put in everything she had.

    AOPA vs NATA

    My membership just lapsed. I’m not sure yet if I will rejoin. Smells of Wayne LaPierre…just a touch at least.

    Strongly consider renting different models until you know your mission. Then you can make an informed decision on a long term acquisition.

    Did not know about ADHD restrictions when I got my medical. What do I do?

    @Palmpilot Prescription Monitoring Program. Database of scheduled drug prescriptions for individuals maintained by the pharmacy boards and shared across many state jurisdictions. It can only be legally accessed by a provider that is treating the patient and can justify the necessity of...

    What if You’re Philosophically Opposed to AA?

    I did choose to go into HIMS as opposed to hanging up on a life goal. Delayed consequences of prior behavior. It sucks but beats the alternative.

    Hmmm. I’m not seeing that.

    Did not know about ADHD restrictions when I got my medical. What do I do?

    The PMP access has been a wonderful BS filter. I find that drug seeking behavior has been greatly reduced in my practice and it has become much easier to confront the small percentage of drug seekers with objective evidence of an issue.

    What if You’re Philosophically Opposed to AA?

    A study of great interest would be one that compares recovery rates of those that warm a chair and drink coffee at AA/12 step meetings with those that actively engage in working the program in their daily living. In my experience the latter groups recovery rate approaches 100%. The former group...

    What if You’re Philosophically Opposed to AA?

    Don’t confuse religion with spirituality. Yes, AA is based on spiritual principles, not religion. I know of several atheists in local groups that do just fine in AA. And yes, there are AA meetings that are tailored for agnostic/atheist beliefs.

    Help ID this device

    Ok…so the question still stands, sort of- can it discriminate between an African or European Swallow? Coconuts can be carried by either species so that would not be of help in the reflectivity pattern. Inquiring minds want to know.
