it’s literally the same thing. You still have to pay thousands of dollars to a neuropsychologist for a pointless evaluation that takes 2 days. I bet it took the moronic doctors at the faa years to come up with this new adhd chart and millions of dollars. What a joke.

I have the list of HIMS psychiatrists. Dm me

If I were you and you just want to fly for fun go with sport pilot. It looks like with new legislation you’ll have access to a little bit larger aircraft. If you are trying to do this professionally you could still go sport pilot while you work out getting a few years of monitoring under your...

This wasn’t a case of just one ame that was being used against a pilot. It was an entire team of HIMS Ames and HIMS psychiatrists that are supposed to be independent and provide work for delta and alpa. The psychiatrist that made up the fake bipolar diagnosis lost his medical license. There are...

It’s not just about some HIMS ame trying to milk all the money they can out of you. You could be in excellent recovery have a sponsor and work all 12 steps and if a HIMS Ames does not simply like you they can ruin your chance of regaining a medical. Did you look up karlene petit? She is a prime...

Most doctors make nowhere near 1million. I have multiple physicians in my family and if you combine their salary they still don’t make that. Where did you come up with that? The average a HIMS ame charges per hour is around $200. You think dr chien charges $500/hr? If anyone can command that...

if you end up getting that far and they interview you or document anything please let me know. I would love to share and many other people I know would love to share their experience in HIMS and the absolute mess that it is.

you most likely will not hear from them until at least 8 months. I would recommend contacting your representative or senators office and tell them the faa is not telling you anything and that it’s been over 6 months. I know of some people whose application took SIGNIFICANTLY longer to be processed.

It sounds like if you give them what they want and you have negative drug screenings you’ll get your medical certificate. I don’t think you’ll need 2 years. I’m not a HIMS ame but from my 5 years in the HIMS program I’ve seen dozens of airline pilots get there medical back in 6-8 months.

The reason why alpa refuses to share or change anything related to HIMS is so that all their “henchmen” aka HIMS Ames neuropsychologists, psychiatrists, social workers and other support staff is they are making a FORTUNE off of it. The amount of money someone can make from just being a HIMS ame...

A friend of mine waited 20 months to get their HIMS SI.

If you’re talking about just earning your commercial pilot certificate you don’t need a 2nd class medical to do that. You can take the check ride under basic med. You would only need the 2nd class to exercise the privileges of a commercial certificate.

I have the list of HIMS psychiatrists. You can message me

Small step in the right direction. I hope they continue to shift their medical policy’s into the 21st century.

The scary thing is that they can’t ask if it’s a special issuance, but if they look you up on the airman registry they can tell if it’s a special issuance. If it says “valid for only 6 months” or “not valid for any class after” then they know it’s an SI for substance abuse/dependence or other...

Was the parking lot actually restricted? If there were no gates and it was a public lot then what the police did was unlawful. Most police officers are very poorly trained and ignorant of the law. Hope this doesn’t cause any issues with the FAA for you. They like to go after people for the most...

Does that mean it’s possible to get a special issuance for something like substance dependence/abuse with any Senior AME that isn’t HIMS?

Useless answer. Nice

I know someone that waited 18 months for the faa to make a decision regarding their HIMS special issuance request.

Dr Chien is a HIMS ame so I would say that benefits him. But he is also one of the good HIMS Ames who does what ever he can to help people get there medical certificates. There are a number of HIMS Ames that are only in it for the money and charge around $500/hr and bill by the minute. These...
