I applied for a 3rd class mid-2020 spring and I got letters asking for additional documents. As you remember, anything medical-related in 2020 was hard, so even with an extension, I was having trouble getting records.
Then in March 2021, I got my denial, but the language was quite sympathetic to my surprise! It wasn't a "denial", but rather a "we can not determine your eligibility." It encouraged me to just send more info when I get the chance. Now, I got busy with life so I got the records a few months after that, but didn't send them.
Now, obviously, it's August 2023, and in 2 years the flight surgeon of my region has changed, my AME has retired, and I moved to a new state (same region) and I'm not sure what to do. Just send the documents, but to the new office / surgeon? Should I do the whole medical / AME-process over again? Some third option?
Also, since it was a "we can not determine your eligibility", not a "you are not eligible", can I go for a sport pilot? I know, the answer's probably no, but I thought I'd ask! Either way, I'm very hopeful for an approval, I just need to know how to re-start the year long paper work trail
