Dr. John Hastings, Chairman, EAA Aeromedical Advisory Council
Recently a story was published in Texas where the operations director of the Mesquite City Airport told the Dallas Morning News regarding sport pilots, "If they don't have to get a medical, or if there are ones who do this because they can't pass the medical, then they probably shouldn't be flying." While the newspaper seemed satisfied with her medical opinion, we talk with Dr. Hastings, who probably knows just a little more about the medical issues regarding sport aviation. Learn some things that didn't make the headlines. Experimental Aircraft Association

Paul Hamilton, Adventure Productions

Mike Stratman, California Power Systems, Inc.
Mike Stratman talks about how to read your guages. With all of the information that pilots can get about their engines, it is important to be able to interpret the information to know what is going on in the engine.
