Guys, I seldom step into these things but this time I need to.
How many insurance companies do you think are out there that know what baffles a 60 plus year old plane came with? I would bet you a quarter that there are not ten people living who could look at a Coupe and tell you that was 100% factory or not. In this line I got one , I need to tell you. An old guy in his eighties failed a medial because of medicine he was taking. He waited and went to another doctor. As required, he stated all previous medical conditions disclosed. We all know how slow the FAA is with paper work. Six months later the FAA wrote him and said you are taking drug X and you must return your medial. His reply was you have 60 days under Section 61.23 to change or revoke my medial. (See back of your medical.) I am keeping it. He got away with doing this two times before he withdraw himself from flying. Maybe it is just an eastern thing, but we out west or more concerned with is an aircraft safe to fly than is there a piece of paper that says it is safe. Remember that the last AP who did the annual says it is safe to fly with everything that has been done to it. Richard N99904 PS I am waiting for the flame to come.
