I believe Dr. Beck was refering to the requirement the a flight surgeon was placing on test pilots at company that was testing high performance aircraft... Now many of us know that halon systems could be installed on all passenger aircraft, and that most passenger aircraft tragedies that have involved fire, could have been prevented by this simple effective safety measure... Dose any one see it happening ????
Simple fact: If any one I know tries to pilot a plane after eating a big dose of garlic, they are not going to see that budgeon comming, but beleive me, I'll put their lights out first, and apologise later... I was a private pilot for a spell, and there is just no excuse for ignoring the cosequences of performance imparing substances... But... is garlic going to make you drop dead from brain failure ? I think not..., but any airline pilot who would consciensiously get behind the controls of a heavy, after learning the little known fact about garlics effect on reflex times, dose desearve to do just that ! "Drop Dead from Brain Failure", and I wouldn't shed even one tear for them.
