Does anyone know if there are any authorized ED medications you can be taking while you are on a rated flying status? Hoping to start a general discussion about this 'hush' 'hush' topic, so any info regarding this would be appreciated...

That's a HARD one...I'll check into it. I don't know off the top of my head.

Viagra.

and Levitra are not authorized.

There is a 72 hour auto DNIF for taking Viagra. No wavier needed though, just need to see the flight doc. Sometimes Tricare is a pain in the butt about approving but I have always been able to get it for the aviator with a little work.

72 hour DNIF for a one time ground eval, correct? Not anytime Viagra is taken I'm assuming...

Nope, each time its taken. I didn't have a fella dropping in to clinic each time it was taken though. I just made sure I told the aviator that there was a 72 hour DNIF each time (no paperwork) its taken and the aviator just made sure he didn't fly for 72 hours. After 72 hours he could fly (no paperwork needed). I personally didn't expect to be told when it was taken. Only if there were side effects or problems.

I can see it now.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Doc, it's Lt Shmuckatelli! You see, I have a hot date with this blond I met at the base singles outing last month. She's really nice, great personality, she's a little on the heavy side, but that's the way I like 'em! She's really kinky. You know, she told me she wants me to wear a leather flying helmet with a propeller on top and she's going to..."

"Ok, ok. DNIF for 72 hours. Got it, thanks."
