When I did my discovery flight, I was absolutely not expecting the convective turbulence, so I just surrendered to the experience and trusted my CFI. I can see why some would want to land immediately.
I was kinda halfway in halfway out of wanting to go commerical so I figured I'd go through it using the typical path.
Months later having started another business that's making plenty of income for my family I am absolutely kicking myself. Wish I could go back in time and save thousands of dollars haha.
I finally got my letter in the mail from the FAA for their initial requests. I have a rather complicated medical history and my AME and I are both shocked that they are not asking for a psychiatric evaluation.
They do want a neuropsych evaluation with the cogscreen.
Has anyone had this experience? Are they likely to come back and ask for it after the fact?
He also preemptively put me in the HIMS program from weed and psychedelic use in 2020 (high school for me) but they did not seem to want that either. Just One initial drug test within 48 hours of receiving the letter.
My neuropsychologist is asking for all of my counseling records to make an appointment for a consult.
For those that have experienced this do they want the super gross detailed session notes or just a SOAP note style breakdown without the juicy details?
I'm fully committed to this financially and otherwise, so I'm going to keep practing..
But..
My working memory is absolute hot garbage. I cannot seem to remember the string of numbers and then repeat them backwards..
Can this actually be improved upon or am I just screwed?
Long story short, history if ADHD, MDD, SI with voluntary commitment at 15/yo (24 now), and "substance abuse" (I used drugs less than 10x in my life, with 8 neg UAs all recorded, never positive)
My senior AME says this case is highly winnable as I have a great paper trail of stable life after, however the cost is going to be exorbitant. (Nearly 15k)
I have the funds, but obviously the more I spend the more it eats into my flight training so I'd like to save anywhere I can. Psych and nueropsych evals around me are 5k, sometimes 6.
I'm wondering if anyone has ever traveled to a different state or something to get a better rate.
I'm having an issue where sometimes when I use the assistant button, I'll get the original Google Assistant instead of Gemini. Randomly Gemini will come back. No idea what's causing this. I'm running the latest update.
Bambu X2D, printing BL PLA basic. Was working fine recently. Seems to super struggling with PLA but can almost get by with PETG.
All of my print settings are the default BL pla settings.
Anyone having this issue where message bubbling continues to turn back on despite being turned off constantly. Sometimes multiple times a day. Someone will text me and then their text will bubble, with no settings being changed.
I have to go back into the settings and turn off the message by blowing once again despite having already turned it off multiple times. This has been the single most frustrating bug on this phone.
One day Gemini just decided that it wanted to open up the entire app to the full screen instead of using the overlay like it has for the entire time I've had the phone. I've checked all of the settings reinstalled everything and it's still doing the same thing.
Ideas?
I'm 26 now, when I was 16 I was voluntarily hospitalized for suicidal ideations. Took meds for a while as well for depression and some for ADHD.
As an adult now I would like to get my private pilot's license. All of these issues are very much in my past and have not had any effect on me for years. I do not take any medications currently and have not for years.
Is my history going to be a complete bar on my ability to do this? Someone suggested getting my medical completed prior to signing up for flight school. Good idea?
