I spoke with them today. They said everything had been scanned in and was assigned to a reviewer. He said to call back in a month. He told me if it was still with the reviewer in a month he would put a note in the file saying I had called. I guess that’s the interested airman note everyone...

No I didn’t. That is tomorrows project.

I don’t know about the neuro panel but I have tried for days to check the status of my application and the recording says high call volume try again later. I can’t believe there not an online way to see the status.

Excellent point. Anyone can go out and buy a 30000lb motor home with nothing more than a regular license.

I fully agree that mental health issues should be investigated. However I do not think the guy who got a DUI when he was 18 and is now 45 needs to spend 5K and a year proving he is not an alcoholic. Maybe he should have to prove it but there has got to be a quicker and cheaper way. I just...

I guess. That’s the only thing that makes sense.

It’s really intimidating to know that if you want to become part of the group of people that fly you have to be an almost perfect specimen in every way. There are some people that should not fly and that is a fact, however with all the hoops one must jump through, and all the money that is...

I used King Ground school and it is very good at preparing you for the test. It has practice test and I think the full FAA question bank. Videos are kinda corny but do give you simple ways to remember things. There are several similar programs out there that are set up basically the same way...

Mine is from my urologist. Just regular maintenance dose. Reading the regs I don’t understand why they would ask for any information at all. It is a fully cleared medication that requires nothing other than reporting it on your medication list. This whole medical cert process is horse#%*^

Strange thing. I did my med express and when the letter came asking for additional information they wanted my entire TRT history and current medical from my urologist.

Contract

Sounds like a solid plan. My only reason for doing the recon is new a pilot and a Cirrus. When the time comes I will contact a broker. Thanks for the information.

I’m still in training, when I get my PPL my plan will be to start out in a Cirrus SR20 and keep that until my IFR is complete. Just wondering if anyone had any recommendations as far as insurance companies. Thanks

This is clearly a medical issue that the pilot lied about on China’s version of Med Express.

Absolutely correct about the AME advice. I had my consultation prior to my med express. We have all the bases covered but in my case we just had to see what they were going to focus on after my deferral. It wasn’t as bad as it could have been but still kinda crazy. My AME is one of the good...

I found this on the Federal Air Surgeons Column on the FAA website from 2012. Does this ever happen? Just wondering. To relieve some of the congestion in the processing backlog, I have asked our Regional Flight Surgeons to become more involved in the medical certification process. Regional...

That’s funny..I was just quoting Baretta yesterday. “ If you can’t do the time, then don’t do the crime”. Calling the RFS sounds like a good idea. I’ll give it a couple of weeks to soak them give them a call. I just find it hard to believe that every case gets every page of documentation...

Wonderful! Although I did send everything they asked for in great detail. They can’t learn anything from the paperwork they didn’t already know from med express.

After being deferred I got the letter asking for additional information. I sent all that in and now I wait. I sent everything they requested. Can I expect that a decision will be made from that information or should I expect another request for additional information. I guess I’m asking do...

I absolutely agree. Life is difficult for everyone at some point. Some people cope better than others, some people need a little extra help from a trained professional to make it through whatever life threw at them. How can anyone in the FAA go on the record and say this is the best we can...
