Medical Done For Another 2 Years

August 14th, 2008 •

Just back from my medical, 3rd class certificate in hand, done for another 2 years. Of course when I get my Commercial in a month or two it means I won’t be able to exercise the privileges unless I go back for a 2nd class.

Last time when I got weighed I was horrified and said that I would be significantly lighter this time around: I was 4 lbn heavier. Sigh. Next time, I hope.

Other downside is that my 20/20 vision is failing me, down to 20/25 or a little bit better this time. Turning 40 really was a bitch!

Anyway, glad to have that done again.

Your Pilot In Command

I got my private pilot certificate in Feb 2002, and my instrument rating exaclty one year later in 2003. I fly out of Montgomery Field, San Diego, renting Cessna 172s, 182s, and Piper Archers from PlusOneFlyers. I also have high performance and complex endorsements.

Currently, I have approximately 350 hours of PIC time, including 450 landings, and a monster 6.4 hours of actual instrument time. September 2010
