14 CFR 61.53(b) would apply in the case of Sport Pilot - "A person shall not act as pilot in command, or in any other capacity as a required pilot flight crewmember, while that person knows or has reason to know of any medical condition that would make the person unable to operate the aircraft...

I would think a drug test would be standard procedure for two reasons. First being that they want to rule out substances as the source of your symptoms. Secondly, if they have to prescribe you something, they have to know if there are any chemicals in your system that the meds may not play nice...

Even more so an issue...they try to equate "substantial evidence to the contrary" as just one or two DUI's from more than 15 years back. While DUI is a serious offense, and I don't condone it in any way, shape, nor form, those with a genuine problem will have a bit more damaging consequences...

I find it interesting that they lump everyone on a "spectrum" into one tiny box, as if they've pulled them off of the "spectrum".

So this sounds more like internal policy amongst HIMS psychiatrists than it does any sort of FAA written policy.

I wouldn't say SOL. Just because you DID take concurrent psych meds doesn't mean you're done and that's it. What's important is where you are now. You're taking Prozac, which is working for you. This is a FAA approved medication for single use applications. You fall within this. You will more...

His history of dependence, along with "Continued use despite damaging consequences" (i.e. the previous dependence diagnosis he got from his physician) ropes him into the dependence category. Along with his prior depression diagnosis, HIMS is more than likely his only option.

Final Review means it's still being reviewed so you're still in the game. No official decision has been made as of yet.

Choice Lab Inc. is used by many HIMS AMEs for substance monitoring. Contact Rhonda Leach.

The first thing you must understand before you can go any further is the conflict between general medicine (clinical) vs aviation medicine (legal). The AME and the feds aren't examining you to diagnose you. It is a forensic examination to determine if your medical history and current medical...

Not DQ, but it will be a process. My advice would be to consult with a HIMS AME for further assistance. Make a "consult only" appointment with a HIMS AME. DO NOT fill out a MedXpress application at this point!!! Paging @bbchien

Contrary to popular belief, alcohol DOES NOT completely cook out. Studies have been done on this, and what was found was that the longer you cook, the more alcohol cooks out, but you have to cook food for about 3 hours to fully erase all traces of alcohol. A study from the USDA's Nutrient Data...

Final review typically means they're about to issue it. Mine went to "In Review" and was there for 7 months, when it switched to "Action Required". A certified letter was mailed to me asking for "more information". Upon submission of the requested information, it returned to "In Review". One...

He was able to prove - 1) That he did, in fact, order the barbecue pulled pork from the restaurant. 2) That the barbecue was, in fact, prepared in beer. 3) That the restaurant made no mention of the fact that the pulled pork was prepared with beer on the menu, thus he could not reasonably...

Is that the Charles Erwin case you're referring to?

Mine was in "In Review" for 7 months before I was hit with yet another request for information. 30 days after the requested information was entered into the system, it went to "Final Review". Yours would still be "In Review" and be showing a correspondence letter being sent if they needed more...

It appears to me that he's just trying to cover his bases of "what ifs" so he can prepare for when he does apply.

Your post implies (at least to me) that a run up was done, and when dropping the running mag, the engine completely died. Am I correct in my speculation?

Hi all. By chance, do we have anyone here with a Lycoming O-320-E2D with RAM 160 STC running the Electroair EIS-41000 ignition system? If so, how is the performance? What CHTs do you typically see? Thanks in advance.
