    FAA Med Express

    Your are right about that. There isn’t really any other information at all. Kinda useless really.

    FAA Med Express

    I called today and heard the same “under review”. They received the last requested information on April 6th. I have heard that calling speeds the process along and I have heard the opposite. They told me to call every two weeks. About a month ago the FAA rep said that med express would be...

    0 time passenger lands plane (Cessna Caravan)

    At least this time we’re all debating how they all stayed alive and what a good landing it was instead guessing as to what led to a fatal crash.

    Medical

    When my medical comes in I will run to basic med as fast as I can. When I was thinking LSA I was going Sport Cruiser or Bristell but now will be flying Cirrus when the time comes.

    I followed the proposed changes very closely and waited as long as I could but after a consultation with my AME I found out my case wasn’t that bad I decided to go for my medical. If the changes had been in place I would have never applied for my medical. The increase in MTOW will change the...

    Medical

    Well I’m a weightlifter. Kinda wide, kinda heavy. I just didn’t fit. Not even for flying will I quit hitting the weights. I actually tried on a sport cruiser and wow it was nice. But wow it was tight. And Dana brings up a good point I never thought about. If GA did away with 3rd class the...

    I was going to go LSA but I was too heavy and subsequently am now entangled in the wicked web of 3rd class medical deferral.

    Medical

    I have always wondered why a Czech Sport Cruiser requires no medical and why a 172 does.

    0 time passenger lands plane (Cessna Caravan)

    I also watched the interview on Good Morning America and thought this is a little too perfect. I mean it’s possible but for a 0 time pilot to be that calm after a scary dive, maybe a dead pilot, GPS out….several thousand feet in the air going a couple hundred miles per hour. If you listen to...

    FAA delays

    OKC received the last bit of info they asked for about 30 days ago. I did speak with someone and according to her it is the reviewer’s job to get everything together for the Dr to make the decision. According to her there shouldn’t be any additional testing or records needed. Maybe just...

    Overweight - Should I even waste my time?

    I have been reading all the posts. Lots of good advice here. I wanted to go LSA, it fits the mission but I doesn’t fit me. I’m 6ft 270(weightlifter). Have been for 25 years. For folks wanting to maintain after losing weight one of the easier ways is to focus on large muscles. Not bulging...

    FAA: Pilots Weren't Certified to Fly Corporate Jet That Ran Off Runway in Kearny Mesa Last Year

    So what, if anything does an LLC protect you from concerning aircraft?

    I'm so happy- I have a diagnosis! Now what?

    I find myself using Afrin a few times a month. I stopped using water and it really dries me out causing my sinuses to swell shut! The moisture causes mold in the tube. I made myself very sick about 2 years ago not cleaning properly. No water means no mold….

    C172A down near Berry Hill, Ga. S.E. Atlanta.

    I used to live off Kellytown Rd. I drove by that airport everyday. I always thought it was funny there was a veterinarians office at the airport. Glad no one was injured.

    I'm so happy- I have a diagnosis! Now what?

    I always put mine on a little before I go to sleep while watching TV. Let the clock start counting as early as possible. There have been times where I wake too early and have to lay around until I hit the 6 hr mark. The timer on my machine tracks each sleep session until 10am the next morning...

    I'm so happy- I have a diagnosis! Now what?

    I could tell a difference the first night I used mine. I felt very rested the next morning. My Dr actually ordered my sleep study for high blood pressure. I’m not even sure I need it anymore my AHI average for the last 90 days was .07. But what the hell I’m used to it now.

    I'm so happy- I have a diagnosis! Now what?

    I have actually gotten used to mine. It kinda puts me to sleep. They are aggravating but really make a difference is used as directed.

    I'm so happy- I have a diagnosis! Now what?

    I don’t know the answer to your question but I really want to see what everyone thinks. I’m in the process of getting my 3rd class and had to send all CPAP compliance data and have my Dr say I was responding well to the treatment. Still waiting on my medical (that’s another thread) but Im...

    Pilots can now watch the paint dry on their medical applications via MedExpress

    Just logged in to see what the new process revealed. It says my application was submitted over 60 days ago, call RFS. At least for me it doesn’t seem to be particularly helpful. Maybe someone else can benefit.

    Pilots can now watch the paint dry on their medical applications via MedExpress

    I agree, a secure file/doc upload portal would be helpful. But being able to see that nothing is happening is an improvement!
