    Airman Inquiry change in medical status

    The scariest part of the process the loss of sport pilot privileges if you wash out. I seriously considered going LSA and hoping the upcoming rule changes would accommodate my weight.

    Airman Inquiry change in medical status

    Advice for Class 3 medical with OCD and Zoloft

    Check status of medical

    I just competed my exam on the 11th. AME says 4 to 6 weeks for the letter asking for additional info. Such a cumbersome process. In today’s age of instant information one would think it would go a little faster. Is the 16 weeks after receiving the letter asking for more information or are...
