Dr. Tedd? Yeah, he's a great guy.

I've used the services of some half a dozen different AMEs and I doubt I could get a fag paper between them for their qualities and capabilities. All were interested in aviation, all were competent, all roughly the same cost and, most importantly, all passed me. Never met one I didn't like.

It would never occur to me to ask on an open forum what any one particular doctor is like. Positive/negative info? Like what? Ease of parking at his premises or whether he is likely to be lenient over a borderline medical issue (I suspect the latter is of more interest).

What is an "unsound" AME? Shouldn't they lose their autorisations and be struck off? Are you concerned that an AME could pass you when you are actually medically unfit? Or that you could be failed when your usual chap would pass you?

Cheers
