The good thing is no one was hurt planes can be replaced. Hopefully he gets the training he needs before he ends up killing himself and or someone else. Co-worker of mine hit powerlines was killed few years ago which were 100 feet high 1000 feet or more from the runway he was on final approach...

Pilot walked away said if he hadn't recently installed those shoulder harness's probably have ended differently. Wondering why anyone would not have shoulder harness.

How long ago was your pulmonary function test done did they require that to be done again, or did you provide the test results from back in 2016?

IF it turns out the ENT was less then 3 years you will want to consult an AME do not fill out the FAA forms ask for a consult cost about $200 at least the one I have did. That way you find out what testing will be required let the AME tell you what the ENT test's need to be done. If you go first...

You have nothing to lose really since your already denied AME will guide you though the hoop jumping. If you were diagnosed back in 2013 with a sleep study they may view that as diagnosed but not following a treatment plan since it's been so long maybe what happened before doesn't really matter...

I would consult an AME first and ask them what they will want I think if it's a new diagnoses they let the AME issue but require follow up with the history once you have some history not sure if it's 2 weeks or 30 days doesn't really matter as long as they issue the certificate just make sure...

How long ago was that doctor visit if it was longer then 3 years and he never diagnosed you then not something you need to report. What you could do is go get your medical certificate if it's been longer then 3 years since that ENT visit then go see an ENT and have this checked out. That way if...

They only care about 6 hours or more of 75% of the time. Also if your CPAP machine says 6 hours when you wake up go another 10 minutes over because it will show up in the history as 5:58 minutes. That is what happened to me bunch of days with 5:58 minutes I had to go another year of data now I'm...

If I remember correctly you sent them a 1000 pages they only asked about one visit to the ER in 2016 from smoke inhalation. I doubt they will want more on any other subjects would think they would have sent that in the first letter. They could ask for a pulmonary function test to be done if they...

The only advantage to building when it comes to maintenance is you get the repairmen's cert and you can do your own annual which isn't really much of a difference because you can still do your own repairs on anything the annual discovers. Probably not a bad idea to have an A&P look it over once...

If you buy an experimental aircraft EAB can one do custom modifications like adding a glass panel, recovering it, beyond without an A&P signing off? I understand your required to get an A&P to do an annual on it. E-LSA same question as above if one was to obtain the LSA A&P certificate they...

Thanks for clearing that up the more I look into the medical, and the fact that the FAA is suppose to do something with the Sport pilot rules by the end of next year I'm starting to realize that Sport Pilot might be the best choice. That would be a nice suprise but I'm not holding my breath on...

Be sure to let your AME know your going basic medical. Reading this other thread if your AME sends in a letter to the FAA thinking they are helping you out when you didn't want to renew they consider it as renewing. It could trigger them to look into your situation. Read this thread...

Wouldn't the US Attorneys office have to prove someone made false statements intentionally to criminally charge someone? The cases I see referred here on POA are always those folks who were getting a monthly check for disability. They made false statements to the FAA when they got their medical...

I read this here > https://www.flysportusa.com/privileges.php Insurance might be a problem not sure if that is true today because the sport pilot has no medical certificate. "One of the most frustrating aspects of being a Sport Pilot is that SPs are explicitly forbidden from performing...

Spelling fixed :D

I was reading that a sport pilot is not allowed to check the oil, or air pressure in the tires this might be old information. How can someone with a Sport Pilot certificate do a pre-flight if they are not allowed to check the oil. Also is insurance more difficult to get for a sport pilot in a...

I had a co-worker with OCD doctors tried medication he didn't like the side effects. He learned to control it with Meditation I think he went somewhere to learn it unsure can't see how learning Meditation would be reportable to the FAA.

That would make sense your background as an AME you have higher standards. Without any real requirements, or even guidance from the FAA seems everyone treats this differently. I met a CFI glider pilot we got on the subject of medicals he said he was denied a medical because he takes ADHD meds. I...

Is there a requirement for the pilot to go seek a medical opinion if they should fly or not if not then is the pilot capable of knowing what is obvious. Take the OP example someone is depressed they got a script for Prozac would that DQ them from flying? I never seen a doctor tell anyone who was...
