Of course. Unfortunately, I will have to put off flight school until Spring. Due to the uncertainty of my medical because of past issues, I did NOT enroll. I didn't want to waste thousands of dollars only to have the FAA turn down my medical. Now that summer is here, I am effectively a...

Thought I'd resurrect my thread for an update. No, I didn't disappear off the face of the earth LOL. I decided to work with my local AME, and basically leave it in God's hands. Although I did have to write a statement concerning my past, present, and future use of alcohol, I did get my "green...

Just a footnote to add: YES, I realize how expensive it is to do this. I had set aside enough cash to obtain my PPL (assuming I learned at the average rate). However, I do NOT have enough cash on hand to do both what is going to be required to get over this hurdle AND get through flight...

Thank you all. Especially AggieMike. I will check out the free materials. Most likely I will probably purchase the materials my flight school is going to use. They told me the entire "kit" was a few hundred bucks. Although they did say I could find them cheaper online if I looked. But time...

I would say I am a highly intelligent fellow, although not terribly bright...I do "get it" though: Chances are I could fill out another 8500-8, not disclose it, and *probably* get away with it. The likelihood of me being "caught" not disclosing something that old is probably very low. BUT...

The appointment was cancelled, and I am working with Dr. B. However, I may have to delay this venture for a little while. This adds a substantial cost that I had not anticipated. This is the first time in a VERY VERY long time that DUI has come back to bite me in the butt. The only other...

Just for clarification here, since I never actually specified before-AggieMike is correct. I may have blew a .1, I may have blew a .50, or I may have even told the officers to pack sand-I DO NOT REMEMBER. According to the county clerk in the location of this incident, the records are...

I have cancelled my appointment. comanchepilot-To answer some of your direct questions: Yes, I DID search for other relevant threads. Although I found a few that closely resembled my circumstance, I found NO OTHER POSTER in which the DUI was received as a juvenile. You are right, the form...

I have not cancelled YET...I am weighing options. This is getting messy QUICK, and I am getting conflicting info. So far, I have been on the phone with: Local AME Local HIMS AME FAA Court records where the incident occurred to determine *IF* records are still available I am in Memphis...

MassPilot-This is indeed what happened. I don't know if I was actually arrested or not, but figured I would disclose it. I think I may have messed up royally anyway. I forgot to disclose my regular doctor visits for the past three years (specifically a cold recently, and the depression visit...

dtr, I am new here. Just was reading your thread since it was right under mine. I am in a similar boat. I have past alcohol instances to possibly contend with (in adolescence), but also a trip to my regular doctor due to situational depression due to a particularly nasty separation...

Hi All, am new to the forum. I have been interested in obtaining my PPL, and have finally decided to pull the trigger, but looks like I may have hit a brick wall right out of the gate: I had a DUI in which I do not know the date or BAC level. I also was thrown in the "drunk tank" once for...
