This is not the issue. AMEs are refusing ADHD fast track altogether. There have been a few people who were smart enough to go AME shopping and call with the fast track inquiry ahead of time, only to be told over the phone that they always defer. This happened upon the contacting of several...

Are you saying you can stop the exam at any time and decide to go to a different AME?

I made no mention of anxiety fast track. Notice I mentioned ADHD fast track, which has been around since August 30th, 2023.

I'm reading in other places where people are coming in with all of the necessary paperwork for, say, ADHD fast track, to an appointment with an AME, only to be refused the fast track and the AME defers anyway. I just happened to read a Reddit post where a couple of posters stated that they're...

What?

You can hold both a SI medical certificate AND BasicMed at the same time. However, you're on the hook to comply with the Special Issuance Authorization Letter (SIAL) for as long as the underlying Special Issuance Medical Certificate (SIMC) is valid. Now...AND THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT...you...

Contact your regional flight surgeon's office. I seem to get better answers out of them than Jokelahoma City.

Unless you’re having some sort of behavioral issues that stem from dealing with the pain, I would stay far clear of psych meds. They’re meant to prevent destructive reactions to human emotions. They’re not meant to curb the emotions themselves. Taking them to escape feeling the pain is akin to...

Their "attorney-in-fact living man" doppleganger will be there to represent the "strawman" that the case is against.

If the FAA wanted more documentation or further testing, you would still be a deferred case, and would receive a letter requesting additional documentation and/or testing. MedXpress would change from "In Review" to "Information Needed" or something to that effect. In your case, a certificate...
