HOMECOMING 2015
The Texas drought is broken! As it did
a few years ago in Fredericksburg, MAPA
brought rain to Kerrville along with the
bulk of the Central Texas landscape.
But in spite of that, MAPA had one of
the best Homecomings in many years
when an enthusiastic group of 95
Mooney-lovers dared the weather and
descended on the Inn of the Hills Hotel
and Conference Center in Kerrville for
the 40th gathering in celebration of the
Mooney airplane. While the weather
was dreadful, the people came.
This year we returned to the schedule
that MAPA has used for very many
years – Wednesday through Sunday
– and added exhibits back into the
agenda. We also returned to utilizing
the resources of a hotel/conference
center for all our indoor activities. This
proved to be a wise decision based on
the weather that unfolded during the
week. And the weather did prove to be
a major factor beginning on Wednesday
Arrival Day.
With rain and thunderstorms around
Kerrville and in fact all throughout the
Texas Hill Country the week prior to our
convention, we had already been keenly
aware of the daily forecasts compared
to the reality as it occurred. And the
weather guys were pretty accurate.
With this forethought, we determined
that some of our activities might require
schedule adjustment.
As expected, Arrival Day started gray
and overcast with light drizzle and
ceilings above basic VFR but variable.
Knowing that we would not expect
many VFR arrivals early, we utilized the
resources of the website FlightAware to
predict when we might expect aircraft
at KERV. And FlightAware showed that
around noon the first of our members
should be making an appearance on one
of the IFR approaches, so Bill Pearson,
6
www.mooneypilots.com
Rae Willis and I made our way to the
airport to wait. When we arrived at the
designated MAPA Convention parking
area, the closed runway 3/21, we
found the official “MAPA Clown” Ken
Abrahams already prepared for arrivals
complete with a “FOLO ME” flag on
his posterior. Unfortunately, we had
only 3 arrivals on Arrival Day, although
we determined from FlightAware that
at least 5 of the scheduled Mooneys
diverted to better conditions to wait
out the storms. Mooney pilots are wise.
While Bill, Rae, Ken and I waited in
the rain at the airport, Lela, Margaret,
Peggy and Joe were busy in the exhibit
area at the Inn of the Hills greeting and
registering those who made their way
to Kerrville via alternative transport –
airline and/or auto.
Wednesday evening was the official
start of the 2015 Homecoming with the
Exhibitor’s Welcome Reception. This
year we had 17 exhibitors displaying
their companies and products to MAPA
members so the exhibit area was packed
with folks. MAPA members always
enjoy this tradition at our conventions
where they have the opportunity to
reacquaint with old friends as well as
meet new ones and this year we had
more than 20 “First-time Attendees” to
greet.
Thursday morning broke with better
weather (still cloudy with forecast rain)
so the airport group again met at KERV
to wait for incoming Mooneys some of
which made unplanned excursions to
other airports Wednesday night. And
we did get busy – sort of. By the end
of the day Thursday we had about 30
airplanes on the field with 12 parked on
the closed runway and the remainder
sheltered in one of the hangars on the
field. With a final count of 35, this year’s
convention didn’t break any records
for fly-in aircraft although the total
attendees was very near the number we
expected based on pre-registrations. So
we still had plenty of people ready to
enjoy the celebration.
Once back at the hotel, Thursday was
dedicated to visiting with the exhibitors
who attended this year’s MAPA
Homecoming. The exhibitors included;
Mooney
International,
Houston
Tank Specialists, Falcon Insurance
Agency, Garmin International, Hartzell
Propeller, BVA Compass Bank, Don
Maxwell Aviation, Cav Ice Protection,
JP Instruments, McCauley Propeller,
Continental Motors, AmSafe Inc.,
Concorde Battery, Premier Aircraft
Sales,
Dugosh/Kerrville
Aviation
and Lake Aero Styling. With all the
activities scheduled in the exhibit area
on Wednesday, we also served breakfast
and lunch there so everyone had a great
chance to spend some quality time with
the best of the best in parts, service and
support for Mooney airplanes.
Thursday night was our traditional Ice
Cream Social where everyone gets to
build their own ice cream sundae in a
Commemorative coffee cup provided
by MAPA. Unlike years past, we were
unable to get our traditional Blue Bell
– sad times in Texas, however the hotel
found an excellent substitute. And
anyway, any ice cream tastes great with
chocolate or caramel sauce applied.
What would the Ice Cream Social be
without our newest tradition, the live
auction hosted by Mr. Don Maxwell
and myself. Lela again managed to get
some great items for the auction the
proceeds of which were dedicated to the
development of the Mooney History
and Education Museum scheduled for
construction on property adjacent to
the Mooney factory in Kerrville. (See

With the help of Don, we auctioned
some great (and some unusual) Mooney
stuff starting with a set of hub caps
courtesy Lake Aero Styling’s Sherri and
Paul Loewen. Tim O’Rourke walked off
with these beauties. Next was a Garmin
D2 watch. I think it does everything
that your panel mount Garmin does plus
tells the time! Charles Smith was the
high bidder for the watch which came
with a “check-out” by Garmin’s Chris
Benson. Next on the block, donated by
Falcon Insurance Agency, was a replica
model of the winner’s Mooney complete
with correct paint and stripes which
went to Dr. Jim Economos. Next was
the unusual gift for the night…a “flyin” Facelift donated by Fredericksburg
doctor Michael Walker.
If Richard
Simile looks different next time you
see him you’ll know why. Concorde
Battery donated a battery appropriate
for the model of the high bidder’s
Mooney and John Peck walked away
with it. Garmin International wasn’t
through donating as they next offered
a Garmin IFR Pilot up-grade (1 year)
good for an IPad and Jared Absher from
Mooney International out bid everyone
else to be the winner. Finally – or so I
thought – McCauley Propeller donated
a propeller clock (an actual McCauley
metal propeller with a clock mounted
in the hub) which went to the high
bidder MIC’s CEO Dr. Jerry Chen.
At this point in the evening Don and
I thought things were over, but Tom
Bowen COO at Mooney surprised
everyone by taking the mic with an
announcement of one additional
item. From the back of the room came
Dr. Chen “surfing” down the center
isle standing on a strange wheeled
aluminum object complete with
LED lights and controlled by an RC
controller. It was Mooney’s new wireless
remote controlled aircraft tug capable of
towing any airplane up to 6000 pounds.
You will find pictures of the tug in the
photos of the convention elsewhere.
With a value upward of $4000 this
would turn out to be the most valuable
item to go on the block this evening.
When all the bidding stopped, Susan
Newton from Henderson NV walked
(rode?) away with the 1st production
model of the Mooney Aircraft Tug. We
thank all those who donated and those
who bid on our 2015 auction items as
we raised over $4000 for the Mooney
Museum. Thanks MAPA members!
Friday and still raining, but all the
activity today was in the hotel where
we had a full day of seminars starting
with my official welcome of everyone
to Homecoming. As usual, the opening
session included remarks from Dr.
Jerry Chen, MIC CEO and Tom Bowen,
MIC COO. They spent time bringing
everyone up to date on the progress
that has been made over the last year
in Mooney International including
the major overhaul of the Kerrville
production facility. To date MIC has
spent close to 5 Million on upgrades
to the Kerrville equipment and facility.
As most of the attendees who went on
the factory tour Saturday saw, some of
the factory was unavailable (unsafe)
for tours because of the major roof
issues and the massive amount of rain
that Kerrville has had over the last two
weeks. Because of the rain and internal
flooding, there are safety issues for both
visitors and employees. Mooney has
negotiated a contract with the City of
Kerrville and Kerr County to partner the
complete repair of the roof of the entire
Kerrville facility.
Dr. Chen also spoke about some of the
expansion at the Chino, CA location
which is predominately an engineering
facility for Mooney focusing for now on
the M10 project. Mooney plans to have
a “first flight” of the M10 by the end
of 2015 and they are still on schedule
for certification by 2017.
He also
mentioned preliminary efforts to solicit
the County of Kerr and State of Texas
for a location and assistance to standup
a state of the art M10 Manufacturing
facility after Certification is achieved.
Jerry also outlined his desire to hear
everyone’s “Mooney Story” and offered
the prize of a 3D printed Mooney Model
to people whose stories were selected for
the Mooney Website or use in company
print media.
After Dr. Chen spoke, we began the
seminar sessions with a presentation
by MAPA member Tom Harnett on
“Taxes and your Mooney.” While taxes
and accounting are subjects that are
not very stimulating, Tom managed
to keep everyone’s focus for his entire
presentation. We will be sure to get Tom
back again next year. Following Tom
was Otis Cameron from JPI who talked
about “Basic Engine Management”
and after Otis was Chris Benson from
Garmin International with a great
presentation on “ADS-B Options and
ADS-B Mandate” which concluded the
morning session.
While all this was going on, Jolie Lucas
and Jan Maxwell were conducting
“Advanced Cockpit Training for CoPilots” in another part of the Inn. This
is something that Jan and Jolie did last
year and it was so well received that
they decided to give it a try again this
year. I think if we can prevail on the
ladies we may try to make this a regular
event at every Homecoming. After the
co-pilot session, the ladies all gathered
for the annual Ladies Luncheon which
was sponsored by Falcon Insurance
Agency.
When the seminar sessions resumed
after lunch, Don Grunke from Concord
Battery offered a presentation on “Lead
Acid Aircraft Battery Airworthiness”
Don was followed by MAPA’s own
Don Maxwell (known on the chat list
as Dmax) who answered maintenance
questions and offered his own unique
opinion on maintenance within
the Mooney world. Don was joined
by the ever knowledgeable Paul
Loewen and his newest shop guy Kyle
Kennedy – a rookie at MAPA functions.
Between these three, well the Mooney
maintenance world is well represented.
Following Don, Paul and Kyle was Craig
Steffen who presented an excellent talk
on cockpit EFBs and on ADS-B options –
very nice Craig; expect a call again next
year. You are quickly becoming the
MAPA Tech Guy! Dr. Larry Marshall was
the next on the list however, Larry was
stuck in San Diego so we were pleased
that Gerald Earwood (see July 2014
MAPA LOG, “Al-Qaeda Above Me”)
gave an excellent and emotional talk on
what it was like from an airline pilot’s
view to be the last aircraft in the air on
Sept. 11, 2001.
Saturday morning found clouds still
enveloping Kerrville although no rain
was present, so a modified Airport
Day was scheduled. Before departing
for the Kerrville airport, the MAPA
Safety Foundation conducted a BFR
course for pre-registered pilots with the
academic portion given at the hotel and
then adjourning to the airport for the
flight stuff. Also at the hotel, we were
pleased to have Richard Simile from
Premier Aircraft present an outstanding
talk on safety issues for Mooney pilots
including some “Simile-isms” that all
will remember. Next in the Forum
Room was Carl Sharon from Houston
Tank Specialists who was followed
by Nicolas Dopfel from Continental
Engines who discussed the upcoming
Continental Diesel engines which will
power the Mooney M10 aircraft.

After the last seminar in the hotel,
everyone made the trip to the airport for
an excellent lunch of Barbecue Pulled
Pork in the MAPA hangar catered by Joe
Kennedy of Kerrville Aviation and James
Gandy from Dugosh. During lunch,
we shuttled our guests to the Mooney
factory across the field for a special
private tour of the manufacturing
plant similar to the one we arranged
last year. All who went were amazed at
the progress that MIC has made in just
12 months. It was good to see a full
production line of M20s as well as the
other improvements that have occurred
at the factory in Kerrville. While some
of the plant was not accessible due to
safety concerns, it was easy to see the
dedication that the ownership and
management group has to the future of
Mooney.
While everyone had free time before the
evening concluded, Dr. Larry Marshall
(who finally made it to Kerrville Friday
night) held a roundtable discussion
in the exhibit lobby on the new FAA
Medical proposals for Class III as well
as answering other FAA AME questions
for a small group of attendees. Thanks
Larry for hanging in there.
The day wound up with our also
traditional Farewell Banquet in the
ballroom of the Inn of the Hills. We had
a special guest at this year’s banquet, the
Honorable Jack Pratt, Mayor of Kerrville
who presented a Special Proclamation
to Mooney International from the city
of Kerrville. We all dined on a delicious
meal of steak and chicken (excellent
beef filet and tasty chicken on a stick
– no rubber food for MAPA members)
finished off with my favorite chocolate
layer cake…makes me hungry just
writing about it. After the meal we gave
out some door prizes – one member
even drew a “pick me” picture on the
back of her tickets which seemed to
work – and the plaques for the winners
of the Airplane Beauty Contest. Due
to the iffy weather in Kerrville this
week, we decided to handle the contest
judging a little differently. We let the
employees of Mooney be the judges
and they picked the winners you see
featured elsewhere in this issue of the
LOG. We finished off the evening with
the comedy of MAPA member Gary
Jones. Gary put on quite a show!
As in any organization like MAPA, a
convention of this size doesn’t happen
without a lot of planning and support
from many people. First I would like to
10
www.mooneypilots.com
thank our sponsors whose generosity
made many things possible.
They
include: Falcon Insurance Agency who
sponsored the Ladies Luncheon, Don
Maxwell Aviation who sponsored the Ice
Cream Social, Houston Tank Specialists
who sponsored the daily Pastries and
Coffee, Art Craft Paint who sponsored
the Airport Transportation, Dugosh
and Kerrville Aviation who sponsored
the Airport Lunch and our Top Flight
Banquet Sponsor Mooney International
Corp.
I would also like to thank the great folks
who donated things for door prizes and
to the auction. They include; Concorde
Battery, Continental Motors, Falcon
Insurance, Garmin International (the
Garmin watch almost didn’t leave my
arm!), Lake Aero Styling, McCauley
Propeller, Dr. Michael Walker (Mr.
Simile may not look the same in the
future after he uses the facelift he
won), Hubert and Lu Compton, Gerald
Earwood and Weep No More and of
course Mooney International.
We also had a great group of volunteers
helping us this year; at the airport
Ken (our clown) Abrahams, Rae
Willis and Bill Pearson; in the hotel
with merchandise Peggy Walker and
Joe Schmerber; helping Lela with
registration was Margaret Garrett; and
Jolie Lucas and Jan Maxwell with the
co-pilot course.
Of course the exhibitors were more than
wonderful in sharing their time and
talents with our members and we are
grateful for their participation in this
year’s convention. We look forward
to seeing them again next year. And
speaking of next year, after an informal
survey taken during the banquet, we
determined that most members want
to brave the hurricane season and
return to a Sept/Oct timeframe for
the Homecoming celebration.
And
they want to return to Kerrville to see
what new things are happening at the
factory, so we will begin negotiations
with the Inn of the Hills for a September
or October 2016 meeting. Keep your
calendars open, and expect more
information in an upcoming issue of
the MAPA LOG.

IN S URANCE
INSURANCE FOR YOUR
HANGAR AND CONTENTS
by John Allen, Falcon Insurance Agency • Kerrville, TX
Whether they are from fire, windstorm,
vandalism, errant tugs, automobiles etc.
losses can and do happen around an
airport. If any of these things damage
your aircraft, your aircraft policy is there
to protect you (assuming you purchased
physical damage coverage), but what
about the hangar and/or its contents?
Are you covered? Do you need to be?
Let’s start off by examining when it is
your responsibility to insure the hangar
structure. This is an area that can get
confusing around an airport due to the
various requirements of municipalities
and airport authorities. If you own the
aircraft hangar and it is built on your
owned or leased property on the airport,
it should be clear that you have an
insurable interest in the property. This
means you can insure your property
and collect the proceeds at the time of
the loss.
However, if you are just leasing the
hangar, as many are, you may not have
an insurable interest in the hangar
structure. In many cases the airport
authority, the local FBO or another
owner may own the structure and you
just have an insurable interest in your
personal property that is stored on the
premises. But wait just a moment!
What happens if the hangar burns
down and it is your negligence that
caused the damage? For example – you
left a space heater burning and it was
the source of the fire. You may need to
look to the requirements of your lease
for that answer.
The lessor or sub-lessor in some cases
will require you to enter into a lease
agreement. Leases help to outline
the responsibilities of both parties.
12
www.mooneypilots.com
Whether you are leasing a building,
an apartment, or a hangar space, a
written agreement is normally required.
However most of these leases include
clauses that make you as the lessee
responsible for your negligent acts
arising out of the operation, use, or
occupancy of your hangar. In one way
it is certainly a reasonable requirement
to expect you to be responsible for your
own negligent actions. However, with
regard to property insurance it is not
possible for you to insure the hangar
unless you have an insurable interest
either by ownership or contractually by
a lease.
If you indeed have an Insurable Interest,
coverage is available for the Hangar
itself and can also include:
Completed additions;
Fixtures, including outdoor fixtures;
Machinery and equipment permanently
attached to the building;
Personal property owned by you that is
used to maintain or service the building or
structure (see the policy of limitations)
Deductibles normally start at $1,000
and can increase depending on the Peril
(windstorm / fire etc.) or the exposure.
Rates vary depending on the coverage
selected, exposures and loss history.
In addition to the Building you probably
have personal property or “contents”
stored inside the hangar that needs to be
covered. The term for that in the policy
is “Your Business Personal Property.”
This normally covers contents located
in or on the designated building at the
premises described in the Declarations
or in the open (or in a vehicle) within
1.000 feet of the described premises,
consisting of the following:
Furniture and Fixtures
Machinery and Equipment
“Stock”
Personal property owned by you and used
in your business
Your interest as tenant in the improvements
and betterments in a hangar
Even if you do not have coverage
on the building, these items can be
insured on a contents only policy that
is written to cover the property of a
tenant. You can also cover “Personal
Property of Others,” “Personal Property
at Undescribed Premises,” and Personal
Property in Transit.”
The MAPA Falcon Insurance program
has some great markets for your
hangar insurance needs so please do
not hesitate to ask us for a quote. It is
also important to send a copy of any
hangar lease to your MAPA Falcon
insurance representative for the review
and approval of your aviation insurance
underwriter. This will not only assure
that you don’t violate the insurance
conditions of your aircraft policy, but
will also allow your agent to review any
additional insurance requirements in
the lease.

MO O NEY M A I NTENANCE
Ask Jerry
by Jerry Manthey, MAPA Maintenance Instructor
QUESTION:
How do I go about finding corrosion on
my Mooney?
ANSWER:
If you suspect that you might have
corrosion, plan on spending several
days for the inspection. One fact to
remember is, if your Mooney has been
tied down out in the weather and/or the
area you live in is humid and has large
amounts of rain, it would be a very good
idea to pull a very thorough inspection.
Remember, you should definitely have a
good canopy cover! However, this will
not stop corrosion in the wings and aft
fuselage. A good cover will keep the
water out of the cabin. A good idea is
to remove the cover often after it rains,
clean the windows and dry the cover.
It goes without saying, that a thorough
inspection is probably a good idea every
year, especially if you found corrosion
the previous year. You can start the
inspection on your Mooney at whatever
section you choose.
Just make sure you inspect the entire
aircraft. Let’s start with the wings. If
you find corrosion in the wings pull the
dust boots and check under them. This
is a very good place to find corrosion.
On the older Mooney’s you will have
many panels to remove under the
wings. Be careful NOT TO REMOVE
the fuel panels. Two important items
you need for the inspection are a very
bright flashlight that will fit inside the
wing after going through the small
panel openings and a good set of
eyes! A helpful tool is a small mirror
with a handle that is easy to extend.
You should try to get a stool to sit on
with the right height so you can get
as comfortable as possible. When you
suspect corrosion the look-see should
18
www.mooneypilots.com
be very methodical. Stay motivated
to keep looking. Of course you should
familiarize yourself with what corrosion
looks like. You might want to visit
with someone who has experienced
corrosion, repair and treatment.
Once you finish the wings, remove the
seats and all upholstery panels. Remove
the tape or covers on the panel below
the rear seat. Remove the belly panels
and start inspecting the main wing spar,
the cage and surrounding sheet metal.
Don’t forget the main wing spar in the
wheel wells.
Take off all the panels on the rear
fuselage and inspect all the sheet metal.
Inspect the tail feathers as best you can.
The older aircraft have some panels you
can remove. If you suspect corrosion
on the tail feathers you may have to
drill out some rivets and look inside.
Don’t forget the push-pull tubes,
landing gear rods and the landing gear.
The two cavity panels and inspect. Of
course don’t forget the engine mount. If
the cage has corrosion damage, it can be
repaired and in some cases sheet metal
can be replaced. The most extreme case
would require a wing removal in order
to facilitate a repair.
If corrosion is caught in the early stages,
the treatment and prevention of future
corrosion is much easier. A good painter
or paint shop might be a source to help
to remove and treat early corrosion.
Part of a new paint job is the fact that
any corrosion found should be removed
and treated before repainting. The
items and inspections I just suggested
sounds like a great deal of work. It is
and must be done if you have corrosion.
Remember the early stages of corrosion
are much easier to treat and repair than
if you wait for a later time. Painting
over corrosion will not make it go away!
Corrosion is like a cancer--untreated
it will increase the cost of repair and
treatment by huge amounts or may
even call for scraping your Mooney
because it will cost more to repair than
the Mooney is worth!
A NOTE ON ENGINES:
I recently received e-mails on three
different problems on three different
engines. These problems were unique
in that the problems all appeared after
a field overhaul. They were overhauled
by an A & P/I.A. in the field. First let
me say, I think that the persons working
and overhauling these engines were
qualified from past experience of work
related engine problems.
The engines installed in Mooney’s
require a number of special tools for
overhaul. You can solve the special
tool problem by sending engine parts
out to specialized shops to accomplish
needed repairs during the overhaul. In
rare cases you can disassemble, inspect,
replace factory recommended parts
and reassemble the engine without
outsourcing repairs. The aircraft now
becomes the test cell for run-up and
checkout after overhaul If a problem
appears during the initial run-up that
requires teardown, it means you have
to pull the engine off the aircraft again.
The three engines I am writing about
will undoubtedly cost more to repair
in the long run than if an authorized
repair station overhauled the engine.
The problems encountered will require
a great deal of time (labor/money)
by back-tracking the work already
accomplished in an effort to locate
these unique problems.
The engines overhauled by an
authorized shop come with a warranty.
Thus, problems encountered after
overhaul will be covered and save
money. Remember, you expect your
overhauled engine to run 2000 hours.
Are you overhauling it with this in
mind?
QUESTION:
I have oil pressure problems.
ANSWER:
I have received a number of questions
recently on oil pressure problems. I have
written about some of these problems
in the past, but I’ll review them again.
On any kind of oil pressure problem you
must “T” in a calibrated direct reading
oil pressure gauge to determine whether
or not it is a gauge or engine problem.
The majority of problems are gauge
related. After determining you have
a gauge problem, the troubleshooting
will be determined by whether or not it
is a wet gauge (oil to gauge in cabin) or
electric gauge. If it is a wet gauge, your
troubleshooting is narrowed down to
one unit, the gauge. Remove the gauge
and send it to an authorized repair shop.
If your system is electric, the first item
of troubleshooting is to check electrical
connections.
One of the common
problems is grounds. They become
deteriorated or the wires are loose
in the connectors. Check for clean
connections. If all the connections are
clean and in good repair, you will have to
determine whether the sending unit or
gauge is at fault. Depending on the type
of sending unit installed, it probably
would be less expensive to replace the
sending unit. If, after replacing the
sending unit the oil pressure problem
still exits, then you will have to send
the gauge in for repair. If you have one
of the newer (late model) sending units
that cost well over $1000, then it would
be less expensive to send the gauge out
first for a bench check.
Air Parts of Lock Haven, PA has
an authorized repair station for
instruments. There are other authorized
repair stations in the country although
I am not familiar with them or their
locations.
After all defective units are repaired, it
is recommended that you make another
run-up with the calibrated oil gauge
“T’d” in to make sure the oil pressure is
within limits.
If the oil pressure problem is an engine
problem you should pull the oil filter
and check for metal. Don’t forget the
sump screen.
Good luck!
Have safe
flights!

MEMORY LOSS AND
THE FAA
By Larry Marshall, MD, AME, HIMS SPECIALIST
Memory loss has been partially
addressed in previously written articles.
The objective of this article is to discuss
it in more detail and some of the
implications of memory loss and flying
as viewed by the FAA.
Patients are concerned and ask about
memory loss daily. Frequently, I find
that stress, anxiety, and relationships,
etc., are the main reasons for
“forgetfulness.”
When the distraction is corrected, then
the “forgetfulness” improves. Memory
loss, in my opinion, is very arbitrary
and not as concrete as in other areas
of medicine. There are physical tests
that suggest memory loss, but none of
them confirm it. There are written tests
mostly administered by psychologists
that may suggest memory loss, but
many of these tests are biased. Usually
a combination of clinical medicine,
physical tests, and psychological testing
will pinpoint memory loss with a high
level of confidence more accurately.
Some of the diagnostic tests are MRI,
MRA, and CAT scans of the brain,
analysis of cerebral spinal fluid, genetic
testing, blood chemistry, etc. Memory
loss affects all ages, races, and gender.
I have seen a six-year-old with ADHD
who couldn’t remember and a 100-yearold grandma with a perfect memory.
I once had a 59-year-old Stanford
graduate, Ph.D., in a nursing home with
advanced Alzheimer’s.
32
www.mooneypilots.com
Alcohol and drugs can cause memory
loss. This becomes an issue with the
FAA and is part of their HIMS program.
As a HIMS AME, I send pilots with
alcohol or drug related offenses, as
well as anxiety, PTSD (posttraumatic
stress disorder), and depression to a
psychologist for neurocognitive testing
and to a psychiatrist for psychiatric
evaluations.
It is unfortunate to see this same group
in institutions with irreversible memory
loss from substances and alcohol abuse.
It is a challenge to evaluate memory
loss in certain groups of the population.
Doctors, engineers, school teachers,
pilots, etc., are easy to miss, especially
pilots and doctors. Specialized tests
are developed to evaluate these groups
of people and as pilots the FAA usually
requires these tests and evaluations if
there is any doubt of memory loss.
Some reversible forms of memory loss
are caused by infection, diseases, and
malnutrition. The loss of memory in
these cases are usually due to lack of
thiamine (one of the vitamin B groups).
We see permanent memory loss in
third world countries because of lack of
sufficient protein for brain development
in children.
It
should
be
mentioned
that
psychiatrists are specialists in many
areas besides behavior.
They have
a greater understanding of the
neurological system and its disorders,
and are experts at pinpointing where
in the brain the problem exists. They
also are very good at determining what
chemicals (medications) will work and
what to expect. With their extensive
training, they are able to help many
with psychological and behavioral
issues (memory loss). Diagnosis and
treatment is what they do best.
Behavior issues do affect memory and
psychiatrists, M.D.s and psychologists,
Ph.D.s, with testing work together to
treat these issues.
In my opinion, it is one of the most
difficult areas of medicine, because you
can’t quite put your finger on it.
Memory loss usually does not occur
overnight. It is progressive and subtle
and can be missed.
Memory loss occurring quickly is
usually from strokes, brain tumors, and
chemicals. Aging is a process where
people usually slow down. Reaction
time is not as fast as when they were in
their teens and recall is not as quick. If
you eventually remember, then it is not
likely memory loss, just slower reaction
time related to age. Since most patients
would rather see a family physician
rather than a psychiatrist, we test
using the MMR, a 30-question written
test for memory loss, and if they pass,
then reassurance needs to be given so
the patient can then get on with their
life. It is horrible to label someone with
memory loss when they don’t have it.
It can become a legal issue when there
is wealth or secondary gain.
I. Dementia Defined
Broad decline of cognitive function
including:
Memory
Orientation
Personality
Intellect
Judgment
Executive Function
II. Types of Dementia
Alzheimer’s disease
Lewy body disease
Frontal temporal dementia
Pick’s disease
Vascular dementia
Others
III. Alzheimer’s disease (most
common type of dementia)
Subtle memory loss followed by slowly
progressive dementia.
Front temporal dementia is 10% of all
cases of dementia.
Loss of inhibition and socially
inappropriate.
Pick’s disease similar to frontal temporal
dementia.
Lewy body disease is the second most
common type of dementia.
Seen in Parkinson’s disease and has
Parkinson features.
Vascular dementia.
There are two categories.
Multi infarct dementia (mini strokes)
Binswanger’s disease (of the white
matter of the brain as opposed to the
gray matter).
IV. Reversible causes of dementia
Depression
Medications
Metabolic disorders (thyroid issues)
Toxic agents (heavy metals, pesticides,
alcohol, organic solvents)
Nutritional deficiency (vitamin B12,
niacin, thiamine).
Normal pressure hydrocephalus, brain
tumors, subdural hematoma.
Infections
(neurosyphylis,
chronic
fungal or bacterial meningitis, HIV).
V. Others
Mild cognitive impairment
Memory loss beyond normal limits in
alert persons
Medications
Valium type medications (benzodiazepines) in particular can cause reversible and irreversible memory loss.
Illicit substance and alcohol will be
saved for a future article and can
definitely cause memory loss.
Depression can result in a memory
deficit and sometimes can be mistaken
for memory loss.
Delirium is a reversible psychotic
state brought about by illness, fever,
infection, and substances.
Treatment and prevention of dementia:
1. Treat underlying illness, diabetes,
hypertension, vascular disorders, etc.
2. Medications (acetyl cholinesterase
inhibitors);
3. Education;
4. Adult day care;
5. Alzheimer’s Association
I recently had a 98-year-old lady in
for a physical. She came in with her
daughter. I told Wilma that I needed
to examine her. She said just a second
while I take my falsies out. I thought
that she meant she was going to take
the toilet paper out of her bra. Instead
she took her hearing aids out. Sharp
as a tack and I ask her later what her
secret to being so perky was. She told
me just clean living. Wilma reads and
does crossword puzzles.
IN CONCLUSION:
Memory loss in a lot of cases is
unavoidable.
Sometimes it is lifestyle and bad habits
which lead to disease and memory loss.
Clean living pays off.
Using all systems of the body
Staying active
No isolation
Treat depression
Crossword puzzles for some; flying
airplanes for the rest of us.
Get current, new ratings, spend time
with your favorite CFI.
Know a sectional, AFD, AIM and FARS
Good nutrition and exercise, etc.
These are only a few tasks to keep
the mind sharp. This article is only a
summary of important points as seen
by a family medical doctor in daily
practice. There is much more than we
could expand on. Much detail was left
out. Hopefully, it was in-formative.
Please feel free to call or e-mail us with
your comments or questions. If we are
busy, we will get back to you.
