 My old GP is a local FAA med examiner--I'll
ask him for the particulars if you're interested.  I haven't been behindthe
yoke since my dad and I looked at that 150 for my brother a year or so back.
I can't be PIC (pilot-in-command), but it's too expensive to fly anyway.
 I have a few friends nearby with planes, so if I get the itch, I can always
go right-seat.

If you guys are really serious, a friend of mine at the U. of Memphis is a
neuropsychologist who specializes in FAA fitness checks. He also has an
adopted CP daughter, so he is familiar with CP. I taught with him one
semester and learned more than the students. He also did the evals on the
FEDEX guys who were claw hammered and who prevented the first attempt to
crash into the feulling area of the Fed Ex hub (could have been the 1st 9/11
type tragedy. The captain was claw hammered in the head and still manage to
do a 180 turn at 1,000 feet in a fully loaded (feul and cargo) plane without
incident.
That guy save Fed Ex and Memphis! But he can never fly again.
