I am looking into getting my 3rd class PPL to fly recreationally and wanted to get the medical portion completed first. I am going to respond "yes" to question 18.v on the questionnaire.
I was pulled over 25 years ago and during the traffic stop, I conducted a field sobriety tests but refused the preliminary breath test on the side of the road. I was arrested and taken to the police station. At the police station, I did submit to the large breathalyzer test and blew a .083. My question is, will my refusal of the initial portable breath test automatically trigger a deferral by the AME or will the fact that I did take the breathalyzer at the police station be enough information for the AME to issue my medical certificate? I will give the AME a copy of the police report, court documentation etc. which shows that I blew a .083 at the station.
I did search but I could not find any information on this exact scenario. Thank you.
