Unknown type so far. Twin engine, but it’s hard to see the aircraft in the snowy photograph. From the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel -...

Correct. When I was 10. After my teacher suggested to my parents that the reason I wasn’t paying attention could be ADHD, prompting a visit to a psychologist. Do you think that psychologist ever saw a 10 year old that she didn’t prescribe meds to? Not a chance. I find it interesting...

I'm not exactly sure what the FAA is thinking. I'm 18. Just completed my first semester of college last week. I didn't attend the fall semester so I could prepare for the Neurocog after doing poorly on it in April 2021. It's been years since I took ADHD meds - when I was a freshman in high...

Thanks, Dr. Chien - that’s what we thought, too. I managed to get a hold of the FAA in OKC to ask them, considering the situation, can I push back on the AME? Yes, absolutely, and the FAA said to NOT send something that’s not requested by them. I also talked to an aviation medical...

What's the endgame, then? If more opinions are better, perhaps all pilots should be required to go through the Cogscreen AE process and the neuropsychological exam. I guess I don't want another opinion if the FAA doesn't ask for it - especially considering I'm a college student who'd rather...

Ha, sorry, wrong age in my profile. Born 2003 :) My dad and I signed me up for this forum together and he mistakenly used his birthday.

Hello. I was on ADHD meds when I was younger and was deferred due to that. Back in April I had my first round at the cog screen and did poorly on a few, and the second battery showed the same. I deferred going to college so I could focus on cognitive training. I had my second go at the test...

Good afternoon. I'm enrolled in a 4 year college starting this September. I started the process to get the my Class 1 Medical in January. I took ADHD meds as a child and haven't taken them for years. I took the first battery and was asked to come back for the second. I was told that I did...

People retake the Cogscreen/Initial battery?

Yes, he’s a HIMS Neuropsycholgist.

Hello. First ever post, so be kind. I'm 18 and I'd like to attend a 4 year college that offers an Aviation Science degree. I'd like to fly commercial planes. The college I'm attending tells prospective students to get their Class 1 ASAP to avoid problems after spending thousands on...
