You’ve submitted it now. It’s done. Cross your fingers, pray about it, and fill out every future medical application exactly the same way to the letter.

Psychiatric/behavioral problems that get pilots into HIMS tend to hinder the medical certification process. It may not be a problem for OP and he is probably moving through it just fine, but between a single provoked seizure and any reason at all for being in HIMS, it won’t be the seizure that...

You’re going to be okay from the single provoked seizure standpoint. Your purpose in the HIMS program might be an obstacle however.

I have accidentally hit it more often than I’ve actually used it, sometimes with embarrassing results. But it has taught to me glance at the active freq every time before I key up!

Good to hear. Be safe!

Yes, you could have been issued and then have 90 days to send supporting documents to the FAA. A lot of AMEs think that they have to defer any newly diagnosed medical problem. I’m not sure why that is. Maybe it used to be that way, but now all the rules for medical certification are online and...

You have nothing to worry about. Have fun training.

The FAA doesn’t care much about local testimony contrary to their decisions.

Your medical is still valid. You can get an SI for OSA so 61.53 says you’re good but it does hold you to grounding yourself if you feel impaired.

My G5s have bugs: heading bug, altitude bug, etc.

Judging by what people are paying for homes, cars, RVs, airplanes, etc nowadays isn’t everyone making that?

Also the fuel selector valve further delineates bewteen PA28-235 and 236.

What do you mean when you say the engine is “tight”? Is that just a synonym for good or does it describe something specific about the engine?

Nothing worse than being all strapped and buckled in and yelling CLEAR! with fellow aviators nearby waiting to hear the sound of your expertly primed engine roar to life, and reaching for the ignition only to realize the key is in your coat, in your backpack, in the luggage compartment.

Listen to the universe. It’s telling you something.

Things said and body language I observed by AMCD personnel during AME training at OKC- I don’t want to call out specific people or positions. Some remarks made regarding certain legislators responsible for part 68. Also we were told that the FAA would not legally protect us for any litigation...

Point taken. I should have said the AMCD frowns upon it.
