| Mar 28, 2016 at 19:09 | comment | added | Jae Carr | @casey Well, if you and Ralph J and Pondlife are all going to say the same thing... Then I guess I'm just mistaken and maybe it's time to get an AOPA membership in lieu of getting a license. | |

| Mar 28, 2016 at 17:35 | comment | added | casey | @JayCarr Paying for AOPA medical and consulting with them is going to be your best option for what you want. They will give you a point by point overview of the process and help get your medical through the process. Especially helpful if your medical gets deferred to OKC. | |
| Mar 28, 2016 at 15:00 | comment | added | Jae Carr | Lemme expand on what I mean: There is a document the FAA created trying to explain the hoops you need to jump through and what my diagnoses might mean, but I'm having trouble following it. I'm looking for an interpretation of it that doesn't involve me scheduling an appointment and spending money to speak to an AME. Does that make more sense?

Since the AME is the one who issues the medical, he is the authoritative source for what this pilot will need... not an internet message board, or "I'm sure there must be..." opinions. | |
