Keith, thanks for the feedback and I'll continue to look and compare as I need to focus on my medical to ensure I can get that certificate before I invest in the training programs.

Maj, My conditions with my medical are sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and chronic headaches. When I get my medical application together, I will schedule a consultation which should help me get the documents in order before the official exam.

sounds like a group like I used to work with while in the Navy.

Huckster, I started looking into the fly-in for the surrounding areas both in CT and VA (while on travel). Thanks for all the info and recommendations.

Keith, I'm also looking to conduct the Sporty's ground school and curious how it was. I am brand new working out of town and thought this might be a great opportunity to get that out of the way along with my medical (which will be some other hurdles too) that way when I get back to my home town...

Cody, I'm down by Norwich and was looking into either Coastal or the one at the Westerly airport. I think there is another one in Windam too. Do you know of any AME's in that area? Peter, my alternative would certify for sport but that would limits some of the things I'd like to accomplish...

Have you heard of others not getting medical due to those conditions? The other issue I would like to try to avoid is starting my medical and it ends up dragging out past the time and end up going home and have to see a different AME. Any issues transferring my application to a different AME...

I had read some other posts about their medical and I would start with that to figure out what additional items will be required. I'd like to have all the documentation and paperwork ready the first official review so that it can be done and over. I assume that I might need an SI for the items...

Thanks Rob, I'll look into those 2 training course you recommended. My concerns with my medical are sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and chronic headaches. I heard that everything can be waiverable, so we will see. All these conditions have been controlled by machine or medications for 5+...

I've always want to get my PPL (25+ years now) and have a couple friend with theirs, but was worried about not being able to pass the medical due to some of my conditions. I talked with a long time commercial pilot and she stated that there may be some hoops to jump through in getting the...
