Hello, I have a quick couple of questions on what I need to do as far as my medical cert. is concerned.
I just found out earlier this week that I have an underactive thyroid. Now the little bit of research I have done indicates this isn't really a major issue once I get the thyroid hormone dosage correct. My question is I am a student pilot and have gotten my 3rd class medical before having found out about this condition. Do I need to notify the FAA before I am due for my next physical? From looking at the FARs on aopa it looks like I just have to let them know at my next physical with documentation from my doctor showing that it is under control with no adverse side affects from the medication. Am I reading this correctly?
Thanks for any help that is forthcoming.
