MAPA LOG MAY/JUNE 2015 5 F R OM T H E EXECUTI V E DI RECTO R Editorial by Trey Hughes, MAPA Staff 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 the Sept 2014 MAPA LOG) 2015 MAPA HOMECOMING BEAUTY CONTEST WINNERS Jerry Johnson M20C Rae Willis/Candie Oldham M20J Eric Little M20K MAPA LOG MAY/JUNE 2015 7 Andrew Stagg M20G Tim Baker M20R MOONEY EMPLOYEES CHOICE OVERALL-----TIM BAKER M20R 8 www.mooneypilots.com 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. MAPA LOG MAY/JUNE 2015 9 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.

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.

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!

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. Larry J.
