Short term renting

I have seen a little bit of stuff on this topic but not enough to make a good decision. Is it a frowned upon thing to let’s say go on vacation, and you want to fly while you’re there, so you find a rental plane and do a checkout ride to fly a time or two while you are there? Is that something people do?

Basicmed

I have seen rumors of basicmed opening up to individuals without a past medical. Do you think this will happen one day and if so when?

Sport pilot and disqualifying conditions/medications

This has been a random curiosity of mine and I wondered if anyone knew a true answer. Can a sport pilot legally fly if they have a prohibited condition, or are taking a medication on the do not issue, not the do not fly list? I know obviously you can probably get by with it, but is it technically legal? If someone were to report that you were taking a medication on the do not issue list would that get you in trouble?

Advice on buying a Cherokee 140

So I have found a 1970 Cherokee 140C for sale for about $45,000. Brand new Garmin GNC 355 and 330ES. 520 SMOH, and 3,500 TTAF. Fresh annual. Here’s the bad things, it does have some minor hail pings, and the original logbooks were marked as lost in 1995, but are complete after that. That’s pretty much a rundown of it. I am a brand new sport pilot, so the whole concept of owning is sorta frightening. I just thought I’d get some insight on what yall think.

Couple of questions

Hola. New sport pilot with a few questions. First concerning mountain flying. With that in mind, know I live in Appalachia, so it’s smaller mountains compared to like the Rockies for example. About 5500 MSL at the highest or 3000 AGL. So I know when flying across a ridge, you are supposed to fly at a 45 degree angle. How does that work if the mountains are kinda random for lack of a better word and there aren’t defined long ridges, just peaks? There’s really no way to fly at an angle like that. If you are high enough is that less necessary since turbulence from the mountains is reduced? Also, what do yall consider the limit of flying in a valley? Like if you are flying into it sight see around 1000ft AGL, but there is a mountain to the side at near the same elevation you are at what distance would you want to be away from that mountain? Is it even safe to do that? Also, what’s the standard separation distance/procedure from other aircraft? I know the right of way rules, but what is the recommend distance of separation to maintain and how would you determine that?

How hard is check ride?

I am getting ready to take the checkride for sport pilot, and I am terrified it will be awful. I guess in my mind it’s going to be this strict long process that if you miss one thing you fail. I mean realistically, what do you have to do to fail? Is busting on one maneuver going to fail you? What about forgetting clearing turns? What is stuff that will fail you? Are they more lenient with sport compared to private?

Dumb question (Virginia USA)

Alright yall I have a REALLY dumb question. So I work in EMS, and I was at the courthouse today for something, and I work tonight so I just wore my uniform pants. Well at first I left all the stuff from my pockets in the car, but then i unexpectedly had to go back after I had already left, and I forgot to take the stuff out of my pockets. Well most everything wasn’t a big deal, but I had some IV caths in my pocket in case I miss one or something. Well they were in my pocket when I went through security the second time. Of course I couldn’t take them in with me, so the court deputy said I could leave them there. He gave them back when I left. My dumb question is could I get in any legal trouble or trouble with the state EMS office for having them or anything? I know tons of other people carry stuff like that with them, just probably not in the courthouse… Location: Virginia

Did I do the correct thing?

So I’ve got sorta a what would you have done/qa me question. So here goes…

89 yof with probable uti. Low back pain and weakness for days, patient states she has a uti. Smell of uti noted. Patient does have a history of UTIs Patient states she’s only drank about 8oz of water today. BP 190/99, hr 85-110 AFIB, clear lung sounds, afebrile. Would you have given fluids due to the possible dehydration? I know BP is a concern, but dehydration itself can raise BP initially. I know fluids are beneficial just for the UTI alone, not considering the dehydration. So would you have given fluids? If so, how much and how fast? How often would you reassess and what would make you change what you were doing on reassessment?

Quick question on fluids

I know this is a question I have probably asked before, but it still kinda confuses me. I feel like I get the main idea of most everything, but what confuses me is just like simple dehydration with normal BP. For one, I feel like the signs of that are kinda unreliable and I don’t feel overly comfortable saying that’s what’s wrong. Secondly, some stuff says 20ml/kg then some stuff says 500-1000ml etc. I feel like everything is different, and nothing species rate. With that being said, what amount should be given and at what rate? When should you stop fluids?

Question

if IV drug half lives are usually around 4 hours let’s say, why is redosing required after 15 minutes in a lot of things? Why do they not last longer?
