You’re pretty spot on. Three conditions of 50% 30% 20% does not total 100% it adds up to 72% or rounded down to 70%. Anything above 5% rounds up to the next percentage so 75% would round up 80% and 74% would round down to 70%. You would need 26 10% conditions to equal 100% unless some of...

This is the best explanation I’ve saw of the system.

Most people are on the dole as you put in some form or fashion in life. I am certainly not going to question any veteran about money when we have had no issues sending billions upon billions to foreign countries to fund whatever they needed for the past 30 to 40 years.

100% disability through the VA doesn’t necessarily mean you cannot work. Just because someone has OSA, MIGRAINES, Plantar fasciitis in both feet, a less than stellar ROM in their back, pain in both feet, pain in both ankles, pain in both knees, acquiring flat fleet could get you close to around...

Digging up this post, what about bilateral radiculopathy in legs? Would that get deferred during a medical to OKC?

Thanks for the response. However, I’m leary of how the VA would word it if I’ve received a disability. Say I tell the VA I have moderate foot pain from the fractured 5th metarsal that never healed properly that I’ve lived with for years. They give me 10% or whatever for that and might...

Thank you for the insight. Maybe one of the AMEs on here will chime in.

Mind if I ask if you have a 1st class with the mild numbness you have? I’ve wondered if mine got to that point down the road how the FAA sees it.

Follow up question for this. For those that have VA ratings for knee pain and possibly knee and back pain with range of motion to warrant Va disability, what is the range of motion that will not get deferred?

So in the 2024 AME guide it list neuropathy. One topic says neuropathy without functional limitations the AME can issue. The other block says neuropathy with weakness/numbness and physical limitations must be deferred. My question is, isn’t neuropathy weakness, numbness and pain in the...

Do you mind if I ask how much the craft accelerated IFR process cost? I’m pretty sure I saw a quote on their site, but was wondering if it was what they said. Also, did you have any G1000 or Diamond time before going?

Thank you for this insight.

Yes, had a spider bite more than likely. Noticed it 2 days ago, but went in today as the swelling and redness still was there. PA said it was infected and put me on a 7 day dose to clear it up. Just wanted to make sure before taking it I didn’t mess anything up. Looked it up on the FAA...

Got seen for a bug bite today by a PA and she prescribed me Sulfamethoxazole-trimethopin (bactriM DS). As a student pilot first I want to make sure this is legal and will never ding me for a 1st class. Second; am a safe to fly if not acting as PIC with a CFI?

65 hr or so ppl student. Been going to a small part 61 school for the last 1.5yrs trying to get a ppl. Took 6 months off last summer however due to life. At the point now I’m ready to go full throttle as not to end up a statistic of someone who doesn’t finish. However, my school is losing...

Thank you. Guess I completely missed readind that.

Is there a time you must be registered or a number of post you must have before posting in classified? Trying to make a post, however I don’t have a new topic button for there.

So for someone who has a 2nd class whenever I’m diagnosed with OSA I need to ground myself and and I imagine call my AME? Was mainly just trying to get a timeline of how long I might be down if and when this situation pops up.

Thanks for the replies guys. I guess I’m more worried than I should be. I have yet to see a doctor about it, however I think I will hear shortly. My next questions are, if issued a CPAP and diagnosed with OSA, how long is one ground d for while all the paperwork gets in order? I’ve read 30...

I know there are lots of talk about OSA on here, but wanting to ask this. If diagnosed with OSA as a student pilot, are you automatically grounded? If so, should I go ahead and start the process of getting all documents in order and planning a a visit to the AME even though my medical is not...
