Filing Flight Plan
I am an aspiring student pilot with 22 hours of flight time. I went to take my medical exam and get my student pilot ticket. I was delayed because I used to take Trazodone 25 mg for sleep. The AME said I would have to discontinue its use, and after sixty days he would send in paperwork to the FAA. Its been a month since he sent in the paperwork. I asked him about a time line and he said 8-10 weeks from when he faxed in the paper work. Ok so Im looking at 6 more weeks of great flying practice. But.... is there a worry that I may not get the exam cleared or that I will be put on SE? Also, Is there truth to a statement I read on line that says the AME is actually able to call and get clearance sooner?
