A-320 crash

I dont think it's 1 in 10,  perhaps 1 in 10 in a lifetime.  I know a lot of people, probably a couple of hundred and only a couple are taking them.

I actually doubt their research.  just based on what I see and my uneducated guess .

Depression happens to many of us at one time or another, when my wife passed away I stopped instructing, I was depressed, not crazy , I knew I  would not be doing a very good job trying to teach someone how to fly and so I transitioned my students over to two other flight instructors, I stopped instructing for over a year, when I felt ready to start again and to be sure I got and passed a First Class Medical, and requested a check ride with the FAA.  I passed.  I think most people do the right thing and we need to be very careful how much power we allow any government to exercise over us.

Did you tell the AME that you had been depressed?

Did you tell the AME that you had been depressed?

Yes I did.  But I was not on any medication.

Lost my first wife in 89, stayed depressed till 92, then met and married a wonderful woman and she passed away Nov of 2013.
The only time I don't feel depressed now is when I am in the game, except when Snailman shoots down all three of my B-17's in one pass, then I realize how little I know about this game I love so much. But, as if by magic, I can press one of the runway headings and lo, am airborne once again!
