Just a lurker, but you will probably need to provide more details of your situation in order for one of the docs to give any meaningful feedback.

For revenue pilots, I was told 12 weeks.

i got my results. I took the full battery, and I got the complete record. I took mine with a doc that works with the FAA all the time. He said that it’s a joke that some docs don’t show the results. It’s part of YOUR record.

Firstly, I am not a doctor. However, a simple google search shows me that you’re on medication that is prohibited by the FAA.

did the denial not have a path forward? Did it request you to provide further documentation or advise you to seek additional treatment?

I did the full battery, and the cog screen was performed. My advice — eat and sleep well. Also, start exercising if you’re not already. Play brain games. Try to get your mind and body in shape. Go to a doctor that isn’t just winging these things, or sending in an assistant to read you the...

Are you taking the full battery or just the cogscreen?

Mehhh. They are a subset of the population that have made great sacrifices regardless of their intentions or outcomes.

You willing to travel? There are a couple docs that know FAA protocols. Joseph Sirven at Mayo, but I think he recently retired. Alison Leston - UT Southwestern in Dallas. You can call her office and her staff knows about FAA stuff. You can just tell them you have to do an exam for the FAA.

Ha. I don’t want to throw that kind of shade. I am sure if you go looking, you will find it.

There are people at the airlines with DUI’s. I don’t know the actual stats, but I don’t think it’s super common. There used to be a particular regional that was always known to hire people with a DUI. I am not sure if that’s the case today. Remember, you’re not legally permitted to enter...

Sounds like they know something happened within the last four years, since that timeframe is referenced multiple times.

This is precisely why I said it’s important who administered your test. Did you know you’re allowed to talk out loud during this? It’s quite helpful.

My advice is to see a doc that provides these tests regularly, and knows what they are doing. That matters!

The Supreme Court will likely be trashing Chevron deference soon. In a nutshell, this cedes power to federal agencies to operate how they see fit, citing their expertise in whatever field. Essentially, this is one reason agencies run amok. This COULD change the landscape in which we...

After a renewal, but they want a longer observation period for something else. I think their logic was, ‘since you are already waiting, then give us clarification on this issue.’ I did not check the box, as I was advised not to since it was not a diagnosis and written in error. Either way, I...

This may give you a little insight into what to expect. So, during a hospitalization for something else. There was one page in the notes that referenced arrhythmia. It was an error. The hospital didn’t know where it came from. My PCP called to clarify the note as well, and they couldn’t...

how many times was this tested? Were you given a chance to relax and have it taken again?

Good deal. I have an advocacy service too. They told me that I should hear something soon.

Great… yeah, I have heard the tech in that system is pretty bad.
