I'm not sure what's involved in that regard for psychiatric issues - e.g. if you had kidney stones I know you can demonstrate that you are "stone free" with an X-Ray, presumably you'd need some kind of equivalent diagnostic result from a psychologist/psychiatrist to be "mental-illness free" (whatever that means - aren't all pilots a little crazy?) | |

He just needs to prove that he has indeed been cured so that he is eligible for a standard medical. Special issuance medicals are for those special situations where people don't meet the medical standards, but the FAA determines that they may still fly with an equivalent level of safety. | |
