Opis

Imagine being an aviation medical examiner who's asked what the Federal Aviation Administration thinks about pilot candidates taking acid. What about a pilot trying to fake his way through a vision exam by memorizing what the vision chart says?

Those are just two of the anecdotes shared by John A. Shewmaker, DO, a senior aviation medical examiner who's performed more than ten thousand aviation medical exams. Shewmaker shares all, including advice on how to pass an aviation medical exam, in "Flying Under the Weather."

Learn how best to pass a medical flight exam and keep your status current. Discover the themes common to these tests. Gain an insider's knowledge of the FAA-and the many strange happenings during routine physical exams.

Shewmaker's observations are his own opinions as a physician and in no way represent the FAA. But in this book, he works to dispel common myths about pilots-including those heard before Congress. All in all, "Flying Under the Weather"offers a rare look into an occupation of special interest to aviation enthusiasts and pilots alike.
