No I couldn't, I've had my PPL and class 3 since 1999. I didn't get on zoloft until 2020 after a hiatus from flying, so I can't go backwards to sports pilot. This not so trivial fact makes no sense. Nor does it that you can self certify and fly self propelled gliders that can go 150 kts even...

E-AB, in my case. Most recently after market mods to STOL type aircraft so lots of stall, slow flight and HP TO/LDG testing. I was training for STOL comps before medical denial. Working through the HIMS deferral process right now.

Sad but interesting commentary on a crash of a young student pilot. How was this kid able to maintain a Medical cert after being caught about to fly an aircraft while intoxicated and prior observed attitude of the pilot to flying? Seems like a ton of red flags but was able to keep flying...

The first step is admitting it…

Prepare for a “clever” response

Who's breaking the rules?

Thank you!

I'd stick to SLA/sports pilot privileges and see where MOSAIC ends up. There will be some incredible aircraft that will most likely be opened up once it's passed. Check out Blackwing, JMB, and Porto Aviation. If you feel you really need PPL privileges, you can do that later. Good luck!

Wellknown is "a peach" of a person. I've started referring to him as "knowitall" in my head. Thanks for your service and best of luck!

Not sure if that was directed at me, the OP, sorry if this has been a common and beat to death subject. New to the forum.

No, because I checked myself into IOP treatment almost a year after the application was sent to the FAA for deferral and was still in process/review, because that's the timeline the FAA works on. However, the notes from the treating physician's showed that I had a history of using alcohol to...

Lol! Exactly. I’d never heard of the movie then some years ago I was having a conversation with a good friend and made the statement, “Does it ever appear to you that the people having the most kids are probably those that shouldn’t have any and those that aren’t having any probably should?”...

I agree. When I ask a question about why things are they way they are, I feel like it's a scene from Idiocracy:

Good flick, great book. Author was a WWII combat veteran.

Valid observations, I wasn't working a program actively either the last time around. When I was sober for 6 months prior to that, I was. I'm actively working a program again, which I intend to do whether I get my medical or not. One thing I don't understand, however, is the extrapolation of...

I respect that. I understand the need to make sure people flying are both mentally and physically fit. I want the same thing. That’s not the issue I have. The issue I have is you’re required to provide the FAA with a laundry list of items and evaluations from FAA approved, and expensive...

And sorry to hear you are grounded as well and for your circumstances

No one is holding a gun to your head to read or respond. Takes 2 to tango buddy.

Thanks!
