Hello! I have an appointment with my neurologist Wednesday. Besides a letter from him, will the FAA want a copy of my most recent EEG?

Mike, Luckily enough I already hold my Part 107 from the FAA, which is Commercial UAS pilot. So I would say probably 30-40% I have understood already as the Part 107 test made me be able to read and decrypt Sectional Charts, Understand Airspace, Understand and translate METARS, Understand...

I spoke with my AME. He has dealt with much harder cases than mine. He said as long as my neurologist signs off he has seen people seizure free for 5 years get an SI. I have been seizure free for 10. The Sport would not meet my needs as I already looked into it. I have a neurologist appointment...

Sure, His name is Dr. John Dellorso. He is based out of the New Jersey Newark Airport Medical Office literally right across from the KEWR 22 Runway Approaches. (You can see aircraft on 1-2mile finals from his office). I will ask him for a template but he did mention to me that exact dates must...

Furthermore, he said the waiting period may take longer as he is sure as soon as the FAA Receives this it will be forwarded to the FAA Neurologist in charge of reviewing cases such as my own. I have read a few peoples posts about my condition and to be clear, my epilepsy is no longer active. I...

So I just met with the Senior AME today for my consult. He was on the exact same lines as Dr. Bruce. In fact, he even called Oklahoma City and asked what the FAA requires for a Pilot with a Seizure Disorder. O.K.C Told him I need to fill out the FAA Airman Seizure Survey PDF Form, get a letter...

Yup - That's the one. Stopped meds (sort of on my own accord and lazy in college around sophomore year) - Last seizure was in July 2007, Stopped meds in May 2013. So Seizure free for 11 years, meds free for 5 years. Hopefully the FAA will be clearing me without a lot of fuss. I am sure an EEG to...

Submitted my case to Dr. Bruce, It doesn't give a confirmation page, so I may have inadvertently sent it 3 times! Oops. Sorry!

Yeah, I haven't seen my Neurologist in a few years, but I'm sure I'll be seeing him soon for this. Need to get a new PCP as well. I know that My BMI will be of concern as well, but I'm on a diet and losing weight fast now, so really trying to get ahead of this so I know what will need to be...

Just called the office. They said 'Are you coming in for a physical?' I said, 'No, I am coming in just for a consult.' Their Response, 'Then No, you do not need to fill out MedXPress.'

Is there any reason I should NOT fill it out?

Hopefully so - I know it’s an uphill battle but I know it’s achievable. If a pilot with one eye can fly - so can I!

The office did not tell me explicitly that I would have to fill this out, maybe I’ll have to do it at the office? The Doctors name is John Dellorso and his office is at Newark Airort Medical Office. Not sure if anyone knows of him.

The office asked me what the consult was regarding and I explained and they said, Absolutely, he can handle this. So We will see what he says. I'm assuming they will probably want me to go get an EEG to prove my Brain is operating properly. We will see how it goes. I don't plan on starting...
