Finally received an updated medical from the FAA after receiving an initial class 3 in the office last year. The letter spells out what I need to get pretty well however what it doesn’t explain well is who to submit the documents to and how….
According to the letter the medical issues by the...
Does your SI letter state you need to do another sleep study? I just got my SI letter and looks like all I need to do to keep the SI compliant is to have my doc fill out and sign a progress report, my machine report, and one other thing to be sent to the FAA. I’m old(er) so mine is not valid...
