ltjpunk387@reddit

To give you an actual, real answer, the FAA publishes guides for OTC medications, and guidelines for AMEs regarding prescription drugs.

https://www.faa.gov/sites/faa.gov/files/licenses_certificates/medical_certification/medications/OTCMedicationsforPilots.pdf

https://www.faa.gov/ame_guide/media/DNI_DNF_tables.pdf

The real answer is just ask your AME. If I ever have anything going on medically that might prevent me to fly, I just send a quick email asking how long to wait before flying again.

CharAznableLoNZ@reddit

As someone who was mutilated as an infant I cannot imagine why anyone would willingly do that.

As for flying, no, I would reschedule the checkride until you know you can do normal stuff without feeling any pain or discomfort.

Checkride will be about 2 weeks after the surgery. Meaning I "should" be alright? Though I am unsure if I will be considered legal to fly

[-]

ValeoRex@reddit

There's a list somewhere from the FAA where you can look up various drugs, their half-life, and how long you need to wait before flying again. I very rarely take anything so I dont have it on-hand but its where I learned you have to wait like 60 hours or something crazy after taking NyQuil.

[-]

hobbycollector@reddit

Benadryl too. 60 hours.

[-]

basilect@reddit

IMO the FAA is being too conservative with the times & the dosages, but they are 100% right in concept that you should not be piloting an airplane on that shyt

[-]

Small_Chicken1085@reddit

I had an AME tell me I can take Benadryl daily

[-]

songgao@reddit

Diphenhydramine is a first generation antihistamine and these are notorious for causing drowsiness. Second generation antihistamines such as Zyrtec, Claritin, and Allegra are supposedly much better cause they typically don't go through blood-brain barrier. However this is different from person to person. I personally still feel tired after taking second generation antihistamines.

https://www.webmd.com/allergies/difference-between-first-generation-antihistamines-second-generation-antihistamines

[-]

randombrain@reddit

Sure, you can take Benadryl daily...

you just can't fly on those days. Or the five days after those days.

[-]

SATSewerTube@reddit

That AME is very wrong.

Benadryl, and any sleep aids that have diphenhydramine hydrochloride, is absolutely a 60 hour wait.

[-]

willpc14@reddit

I used to get IV Benadryl as a pre-med for my infusions and that shit would knock me out cold in minutes. Nearly as effective as propofol.

[-]

arbybruce@reddit

I started refusing it back when I was getting infusions. The 3-hour infusions already messed up my day, no sense in missing more time by sleeping for half the day after

[-]

NyQuil Zzz AKA ZzzQuil and Benadryl both contain diphenhydramine hydrochloride.

P0Rt1ng4Duty@reddit

You don't have to take all of the pain killers. The sooner you stop taking them, the longer the gap before your flight.

[-]

Emotional-Ebb9390@reddit

Specifically, you can hoard them and use them for when you are in pain but ever since the opioid epidemic they get really stingy about giving out the good stuff.

Just update your weight and balance as you will be a bit lighter.

[-]

Regulations say that you can remove equipment up to .5lbs from the cockpit as a flight crew and without having to update the W&B.

I'd like to weigh the removal before having him run around and redo all that paperwork.

lucky_chaparro@reddit

Dude. I am so sorry, but no. You will not be good to fly. I was circumcised the summer I turned 16 (lmao) for personal reasons, and you will NOT want ANYTHING touching the area for at least three weeks. For a month I walked around butt-naked with a sheet wrapped around me, like a shampoo commercial. When you do get back to it, be fucking careful. When school started my stitches were still in, and while I was walking the mile in gym, my basketball shorts snagged a stitch and plucked it out. That pain was insane. I'm only telling you this in detail cause it got me fucked up and I don't want you to feel that pain.

[-]

caca6969999@reddit (OP)

Yo ngl the post was serious but meant to be funny at the same time, I just turned 18 and your comment is scaring the shit out of me lmao. I actually HAVE to get that circumcision so I’m really really hoping i can maybe do the checkride before the surgery…

[-]

freshlysaltedwound@reddit

Why do you have to get it?

[-]

lucky_chaparro@reddit

Assuming OP is in a situation like mine and my Dad/brother, some men have a foreskin that will not fully retract, physically. Dick too dummy thicc. So you have to get it circumcised cuz your dickhead won’t be manageable in a hygiene/health sense otherwise

[-]

freshlysaltedwound@reddit

There’s stretching and steroid creams you can do to fix it though.

[-]

lucky_chaparro@reddit

Yeah man I had to get it too, it cost a whole summer but I was glad I didn't need to heal at school. Best of luck you can knock out the checkride before the surgery, and I hope it goes well regardless.

[-]

CFIIROTOR@reddit

I recommend watching "Eric Clopper: Sex and Circumcision" on YouTube. It is considered the ultimate video on the topic.

[-]

jdankks@reddit

Don’t do it….. As someone who has experienced multiple check-rides and only one adult circumcision you can not do them with any overlap at all.

Any updraft downdraft or even change in pitch will be hell for you. Highly recommend suspending training until after you are not only fully healed, but have adjusted to the new sensitivity.

Taking the bandage off day 5 was more stressful than any part of my aviation career so far, only time I’ve ever had a panic attack in my entire life.

freshlysaltedwound@reddit

There are other options if you have phimosis. Really wouldn’t recommend doing it you’ll probably regret it since you lose sensitivity. To answer your question btw you would need to get it cleared by your flight doc after.

[-]

LutrisAO@reddit

Just tell your dpe to don’t expect a tip after it’s done

[-]

CrazyAlps6002@reddit

Why do u need general anesthesia for circumcision? Lol

[-]

SinisterDexterity@reddit

As someone who got circumcised in his late 30's. Believe me you aren't going to want to do anything that requires close quarters for at least 2 months. You aren't going to want to wear pants for at least a month. Either do your checkride before the surgery or give yourself like 3 months.

Thats very good to hear. Were you tickled in flight or did you experience any new sensations in flight after having it gone?

youre going to overload the senses and your body will just mute it eventually. two weeks of novelty followed by years of regret. leave it alone.

The point here is the 2 week pause from flying after the cc. As someone who also had to lose their hood as an adult, you really want to give yourself 2 weeks of healing time.

GoFlightMed@reddit

Narcotic pain medications are not permitted to take while flying.

You can look up your exact medication at the Aviator Search Medication Database

Also refer to this FAA document of the DNI meds (see pain meds). Generally you need to look up this medication and wait 5 half lives (different for each med) between last dose and when you can resume flying.

I'm a HIMS AME, you can reach out if you have specific questions about a particular medication.

Ruin your check ride? Only if you show the examiner the scar.

Do you know if this DPE has a reputation for giving particularly challenging tasks? Your discomfort during the check ride will probably depend on how hard it gets.

[-]

ChestertonsFence1929@reddit

Yes. You must immediately take up underwater basket weaving to save yourself.

[-]

Illustrious_Range_43@reddit

My CFI tells me its always a good idea to ask for a top off before the checkride

It would only be an issue if it was a seaplane checkride and you had to demonstrate your docking ability to the DPE.

My partner’s just had it done. Do not fly for a few weeks. He’s on painkillers a fair bit and a lot of discomfort even with them

Also, being on painkillers and flying is stupid

Also you’ll prob have to tell ur AME

[-]

Swimming_Way_7372@reddit

How long on painkillers ? I had a knee replacement and used painkillers for 2 days. Theres no way getting some skin trimmed back hurts worse than getting bones cut off.

[-]

TobyADev@reddit

More the discomfort he said that it causes

And getting in / out of light aircraft in confined spaces.. tricky

[-]

Swimming_Way_7372@reddit

So he's on painkillers and still flying ? That doesn't sound like a good idea.

In all seriousness, you likely need to get a Dr approval saying you’re good. Check FAA requirements for after surgery. Then if you can pass the imsafe check list. And make sure any pain killers are approved for flight.

The FAA publishes both a DO NOT FLY list to AMEs covering prescription and illicit drugs, and an OTC half life list for OTC pain killers. Wait 5x the pharmacological half life before flying. The guidance is reasonably clear.

This is the AME guidance https://www.faa.gov/ame_guide/media/DNI_DNF_tables.pdf

This is the OTC guidance https://www.faa.gov/pilots/medical_certification/media/OTCMedicationsforPilots.pdf

This is the general guidance https://www.faa.gov/sites/faa.gov/files/2022-01/Pilots%20and%20Medications.pdf

[-]

NoNeighborhood948@reddit

that’s not what ur cfi meant when they told you to trim

[-]

Can_Not_Double_Dutch@reddit

Off the pain meds then wait one month to ensure no negative reactions to medicine. For sure don't fly while on pain meds.

[-]

bailaowai@reddit

Well hang on - I guess you’re assuming painkillers in this context are prescription not OTC. If OTC there is no way that you need to wait 1 month. The FAA publishes a half life list for OTC that includes painkillers and the general recommendation is 5 times the half life after the last dose. Nothing on that list would be one month. For prescriptions it’s also 5x half life after last dose. But I’m a little hazy on whether you need to get an AME to tell you the half life or clear you or if you just look up the half life yourself. It’s probably a little harder to find the pharmacological half life of a prescription painkiller.

V35TN-BO@reddit

Do Not Fly. Airmen should not fly while using any of the medications in the Do Not Issue section above or using any of the medications or classes/groups of medications listed below. All of these medications below may cause sedation (drowsiness) or impair cognitive function, seriously degrading pilot performance. This impairment can occur even when the individual feels alert and is apparently functioning normally - in other words, the airman can be "unaware of impair."

For aviation safety, airmen should not fly following the last dose of any of the medications below until a period of time has elapsed equal to:

• 5-times the maximum pharmacologic half-life of the medication; or

• 5-times the maximum hour dose interval if pharmacologic half-life information is not available.

For example, there is a 30-hour wait time for a medication that is taken every 4 to 6 hours (5 times 6)

This is a copy of the original post body for posterity:

Hi! So I am getting circumcised at my big age for personal reasons.

With my PPL checkride coming soon and me being on pain killers for a good week or so, will I need a letter or some kind of document aknowledging that I am good to fly? From the CARs, the only thing I can find is that only after general anaesthesia is a doctor’s approcal necessary.

Also. The c152 seats are really going to tickle that sensitive area, I’m scared.
