A funny thing, in his early 70s the FAA wouldn't renew his medical, so he got an Australian licence from our CAA.The legendary Bob Hoover. The man could fly a rock. YouTube is full of great content of him.
I think it was actually much later than that, 'cos I know the CASA person who was behind giving it to him, and he wasn't in the department then. Classic case of an old bloke who had forgotten more than most of us ever knew, and still retained more skill than most of us ever had.A funny thing, in his early 70s the FAA wouldn't renew his medical, so he got an Australian licence from our CAA.
...his early 70s, i e. in the 1990s, I believed so but I'll defer. And yes it's refreshing to know and associate with intelligent practical people... my brief dealing with casa was not soI think it was actually much later than that, 'cos I know the CASA person who was behind giving it to him, and he wasn't in the department then.

Someone told me the best way to deal with them is to tell them nothing (in regards to medical stuff)Sounds like CASA is a nightmare to deal with. Someone I knew got a heart condition. It was treatable (and therefore, cured), but CASA pulled his licence and despite reports from his doctors that he was fit to fly they wouldn't give it back to him.

The first thing any new pilot is told is to keep his GP and DAME separate. The result is probably that there are people flying with hidden issues, whilst at the same time, people with fully treatable ones are kept grounded.Someone told me the best way to deal with them is to tell them nothing (in regards to medical stuff)

This was on Nein News last night. They emphasised that it was "another Boeing" like it was all Boeing's fault that they tail-scraped down the runway..."Don't do this. It's hard on the airplane and scares the passengers."
Some understatement by Juan Browne on this:
Pilots: any further comment?
Wow, that's not going to be cheap to fix is it. Anyone know if the plane continued on?This was on Nein News last night. They emphasised that it was "another Boeing" like it was all Boeing's fault that they tail-scraped down the runway...
Hopefully Boeing fixes it properly... this time (unlike JAL123)Wow, that's not going to be cheap to fix is it. Anyone know if the plane continued on?
They did some major damage to that aircraft. The 777 has a tail skid that, when impacted will get pushed up and generate a master caution to the flight crew on the EICAS.Wow, that's not going to be cheap to fix is it. Anyone know if the plane continued on?
They would have said that even if it was an Airbus.This was on Nein News last night. They emphasised that it was "another Boeing" like it was all Boeing's fault that they tail-scraped down the runway...
Apparently climbed to a few thousand feet, and then returned. You can't pressurise after a tail strike, so you aren't going far.Wow, that's not going to be cheap to fix is it. Anyone know if the plane continued on?
Just as likely not Boeing. There are plenty of organisations with the ability to do major repairs.Hopefully Boeing fixes it properly... this time (unlike JAL123)
