Have you seen a cog test? an example .... piece of paper with a circle drawn on it. Instructions say write the numbers in the circle like a clock face. My father wrote about eight numbers , 5 of which were in the northeast quadrant, a couple were outside the circle completely and he didn't even write about 4 numbers. Yet if you talked to him , he just seemed a little forgetful... akin to 180's grandmother. In looking looking at cog tests....it appears my dad took a mini cog. If one can't pass a mini cog you shouldn't be flying Period!

The FAA isn’t required to use that cog test. We would be opening up Pandora’s box to a cog test designed/approved by the FAA medical team.
