The community psychiatrist: He's going to look at your risk facotrs for recurrence.... He'll be authoritative, NOT like the PCP nor APRN.

It helps to be a medical graduate to understand wth is going on. The SMS5s and 6s do most of the work, and they only have an outline of what's going on. And to be one, you don't have to be licensed in the state where the airman resides. You only need to be licensed in ANY state.

An FAA doc can he’s “not practicing medicine….”

The timescale of BATTLE. Good luck with that.

Ben to Kitchener IFR but I don't keep them current. Wanna publish the plate- most of use don't have Transp. CA plates?!

The original post said: And there is the barrier. He's going to have to deal with it.

I'm old, UTL. When I heard Secretary Pena's acceptance speech, he declaimed: "We will accept no accidents..." and I'm thinking....."he's gonna be taking the bus a whole lot"

Floridaman37. You are conflating HIMS psychiatrist (an MD) with HIMS neuropscyhologist (a Ph.D). If what you have on t the table is childhood ADD off meds since 5th grade (https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/childhood-adhd.149708/ ), go back to that string. You shouldn't need a...

Jon, you omit that in 2009 Congress gave the FAA the authroity to establish their own defintiions of aeromedical disease. The charge was "no accidents". The cost? sigh.

.....but you'd be amazed how many are supertolerant and have been drinking amazing amounts on their first 0.15-0.20. You time scale is incorrect. It's not a year. Back in 2006 when we petitioned for an SSRI path, it took 4 years and "some" lobbying to make it happen. Basic took 5 years...

Floridaman37: (1) That far ago, FAA will allow a "due diligence" letter, eg: "no such records exist any longer at this time, signature, date". But the RIGHT way to do this is get the pharmcy vendor of adulthood and get a 10 year record search. The CVS or Walgreen stroe does not have this...

Did you read the part about demonstrating good margins for 6 months….?

That’s from too much medicine, he didnt FORGET HIS medicine……Which is what you wrote. He OD’d, not forgot….and all class 1s and 2s demonstrate they can keep good margins for six months b4 they even get considered.

Happy to do so….

Yes

Actually the example you gave WILL NOT HAPPEN. They will ever so slowly dehydrate. Think again and grind a different stone. And BTW I have half a dozen IDDM -1 pilots on flight decks. They are performing WELL.

Well I gave the circumstances under which you would be sent to the HIMS psychiatry eval. It would depend on the evidence in your care record, your 10 year pharmacy search....etc. But if you have been on meds for > 2 years, do't be too confident. the agnecy requires a COMMUNITY psychiatrist...

250 hrs for C 210 is a VERY common requriment.

Ron is trying to be helpful but isn't getting that the FAA is going to have to see if what you have is considered recurrent depressive disease. If you have enough risk factors for recurrency (or even if it it has already recurred), or if the disease is more than 5 years long, then two years...

Oh. If he really had to get down that fast for some unknown reason, the taxiway would have been a GREAT alternative. PIC FAIL. FAIL FAIL. 44709. AND IT'S POSTED!! OMG.
