"based on the feedback he gave me it went well" You need to request a copy of your Airman Medical File from Jokelahoma City. You know absolutely nothing until you have that. In that file, you will find the HIMS psych evaluation report. You need to see what is in that in order to figure out...

Why would you want to fly above 18K (Class A airspace)? Less weather, optimized fuel usage, faster cruising speeds, the ability to avoid turbulence, and more time to plan emergency landings. You also need an instrument rating to fly in Class A airspace. Now for your other questions - 1. Do...

This is what the FAA gets for abusing and taking advantage of pilots.

You absolutely can! When I had to do my HIMS psych evaluation, the psych required me to be on the random testing and to complete 4 months of testing before he would book me an appointment. It's in your best interest to get going on all of this right away. BTW...your peer support group...

Anyone can go to peer support group. Many people in peer support groups are there because that's what keeps them away from alcohol. So there are many people who attend peer support groups who haven't drank in years. They are also very accommodating to those who are there for administrative...

As @bbchien stated, get with a HIMS AME and get going with this. Get set up on a drug/alcohol monitoring plan. The HIMS AME will probably set you up with Choice Lab Inc to do a 10-panel w/EtG test at a frequency of no less than 14 tests within a 12 month period (the HIMS AME can increase the...

I'm sure @bbchien will chime in soon, but I believe you're in for at least a 2 year journey before you'll see a medical certificate again. The important thing is to get with your AME ASAP. Get every bit of documentation you can and bring it to him. Have him evaluate and advise a plan to follow...

No, I'm suggesting they should use language that doesn't suggest that the person is under criminal investigation. Something like "Hey, we need some more information from you in order to determine eligibility for medical certification under Part 67. Without this information, eligibility cannot be...

Anyone ever notice that the FAA has a very "rule by iron fist" enforcement mentality? For example, your medical ends up being deferred. They send a correspondence letter requesting more information. In that letter, we find the following language - "if no reply has been received within 60 days...

I understand this. What I’m asking is can they legally place a condition upon the airman that requires him to renew the medical certificate every 6 months? Such a condition would basically defeat the purpose of him ever transitioning to BasicMed. I believe @Brad Z had stated a while back that...

Maybe if I had sent it into the FAA. But I sent it to the HIMS AME, while at the same time revoking in writing all prior authorizations to share my protected health information with any/all outside agencies. Wondering if I shouldn't just go ahead and send the letter Brad Z mentions to the FAA...

The Domingo Interp mentions "the requirement for an airman to demonstrate that he remains qualified for a new special issuance medical certificate when the current special issuance medical certificate expires." This reads, to me, that the airman is required to demonstrate that they remain...

In previous posts with @bbchien I was under the impression that full information had to be submitted up to the "Not valid for any class after" date on the medical certificate. In my situation, my HIMS Special Issuance Medical Certificate only had 45 days left on it before the NVA date. I ended...

Yes...ANY entity that you have authorized to shared your protected health information with revoke it, and for this exact reason. MAKE SURE YOU DO IT IN WRITING!!! There is a guy on another forum who claims that his AME wrote a letter to AAM-300 that he was non-compliant due to not renewing his...

You only need to get the requested information up to the "Not valid for any class after" date on the medical certificate. Once you've submitted that, you're done. Make sure you revoke in writing any and all prior authorizations for your AME to share your protected health information with the FAA...

@Brad Z The "November 2027" is either a mistype by the OP or a misprint in the Authorization Letter. Special issuance medical certificates are time limited regardless of age/class, and usually for no longer than 12 months I believe. The enclosed certificate is valid until November 30th, 2024...

Once a deferral results in the issuance of an unrestricted medical certificate of any class, you’re home free to be issued an unrestricted certificate of any class, new diagnoses/conditions notwithstanding.

There are two people you would want to be Asperger. Your surgeon and your pilot.

OMG you're not hearing me. Take that sentence where I mentioned the few people who were smart enough to go AME shopping and call with the fast track inquiry ahead of time. Meaning they hadn't even gone in to see the AME so the AME knows nothing about them. They simply contacted the AME's office...
