Final Approach
moved this section from Hangar Talk post...
I am getting back in the cockpit after laying off for nearly two years due to family medical issues that needed my full undivided attention.
I didn't renew my medical (Oct 06), and I was on an annual SI for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), with the 5 year authorization to issue in the office letter from Dr. Silberman. The 5th year would have been for my renewal in October of 2006, so I assume this letter is no longer valid. Does that mean a new SI authorization from OKC, or might a good AME have authorization to issue if all criteria of the original issue are still met? I knew those criteria 2 years ago - hopefully they remain unchanged.
