Bill, Greetings.
Yale is one of the good guys that basically says cancer care is not to be deferred, including diagnostic procedures. Our friends on the opposite coast are saying they are deferrable. I’m a Michigan guy and we recruited some fabulous Yale alums and faculty back in the day. Great school.
My concern with flight physicals, is do we do them or not? The risk is a two way street: bring 'em in and hope no one else in the clinic is sick and they are not, or let them wait. With the FAA’s present deferral, until June 30, the folks that already have a medical can press on.
A bigger concern I have is the pre-solo student who is about to solo. They are not eligible for basic med, can’t solo until the ticket is in hand, or they switch to light sport. I’m doing BMeds for those I know well, but the liability laws in my primary state preclude doing anything but FAA physicals there, so they have to cross state lines. It’s a far bigger issue than a lot of people realize.
Blessings to you and your practice as well. Hang in there!
