I'm waiting as well. In fact, technically, one reason I had to wait initially was because they took so long that by the time they got to the paperwork, their own deadline for me had already passed. I've resubmitted everything, it's been a month, and I feel like you guys who are saying you called...

Well, it's been over a month, and I've not heard anything. I've called five or six times with no luck in getting through, and a search of my info on the FAA site shows "No medical information", that is, no certificate. ....sigh..... The thing is, I did what they asked for, so are they going to...

I could see that with psych stuff. I'm kind of baffled by why my case seems so difficult. It may simply be that I did it wrong, or have forgotten how to deal with the FAA. (...did I tell you about the time I failed my first commercial check ride when the examiner brought his girlfriend along for...

Can you explain what the purpose is for me to get my own medical records from the FAA? How will I want to use this information? Just so you know, the last medical certificate I had was a Class I, which probably expired in about 2001. I've not applied for any other certificate till I went for...

Several of you have reached out with some good advice and such, thanks for that. Especially bbchien! Here is an update. Also, I will send a link to all my medical info/records pertaining to this issue, along with the letters from the FAA to anyone who asks. After posting here, and talking with...

I didn't mean for it to come across like that. I'm fishing for examples of what others have been through to clear up my confusion. And it looks like I'm trying to say the FAA (you?) are wrong only because in my mind I fulfilled what the FAA was asking by sending them the clear test results they...

Here's me back in the day. Originally from film, taken by a friend: https://flic.kr/p/8rz6hn More flying pics here from the times I've managed to get up: https://flic.kr/s/aHsjwDtJVv https://flic.kr/s/aHsm2oBKSo

I guess I could boil it down to needing to know how to go forward with this. Especially for the few experts I see on here, and those who have been through this type of thing... Is it even worth trying at this point? What is it they want? I provided all of the tests they had on the list in the...

I don't think I want to do ultralights. But gliders would be great. Problem is that there is only one glider port near here, and it is about 1.5 hours drive. Motor glider would be great, but I would love to be able to rent a four seater once in a while to go someplace with friends. I'm leaning...

Thanks for the replies. A few things to note: Blood pressure is 120/70. I can't afford a lawyer. I might get my certificate, but that would eat up my budget to fly, so it would be pointless. The reference to too much alcohol is 100% true. When I weighed 175, that excess weight was very much...

I posted this as part of my introduction as a new user, so I'm copying this over from that thread to here, since this seems more appropriate: After a 20+ year "break" from flying I'm finally trying to get back to it. But the FAA seems to have other plans. Basically, I ended up getting a...

Oh, nice! I hadn't noticed the area to post about medical stuff -- maybe that was before I actually logged in as a user. Thanks, I'll copy this over to that section. It's good to know there are others who have struggled with getting a medical, it's not something I ever thought about when I was...

Hello all, I'm new to this forum, so I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm in the Portland, Oregon, area, and I fly out of KTTD. I've got about 625 hours total time, most of it single engine. I did do some instructing, and other freelance stuff. I owned my own plane and towed banners with it for...
