Should I start training? - SSRI certification

[Jack F.]

I walked out of my HIMS AME with a first class medical. I successfully completed the requirements for SSRI pathway 1. I provided all psychiatric medical documents and a letter stating the necessary items. (Single episode, no suicidality, etc.). Should I expect something in the mail(special issuance)? Should I start training or wait for FAA? Do they ever send you a letter confirming your eligibility? I'd really appreciate the input. Thanks guys!

If you walked out of the office with a medical, you're good to go for now. Be on the lookout for mail from the FAA. If they ask you for any more information you will need to provide it to keep your medical.

Do you have an authorization letter?

Do you have an authorization letter?

Just the medical certificate issued at the AME's office. When do I get an authorization letter?

It arrives in the mail after they “get to it”……sigh!
