It has been a long haul! Because of my age, I just completed my 2 year exam. Still waiting for ruling. All of my urine tests are sent in and I still have them done every 4 weeks or so. AA meetings 3 times a week to cover for those times when I am out of town. Recent AME HIMS exam went as...

So as an update; My HIMS AME called the FAA Medical team and apparently discussed my file. The denial was 'reversed' and I am back under review. I started AA meetings in August, obtained a sponsor as they asked and have been engaged. My sponsor has sent in a letter stating as much. My sleep...

I am right at 80 hours in my Archer. Love flying. It pains me to know that most of the info that they wanted was already there. But if it were easy then everyone would be flying!!! :cool:

Yes, it was a single event 14 years ago. In 2007 I weighed a hefty 355 pounds and my wife was concerned about my sleep patterns so I did an apnea sleep study at the time. In 2008 I had lost over 100 lbs. When I sent in all my medical records they had noticed the previous sleep study and had me...

Hello As an update I received a denial from the FAA based upon my history. However, in their letter, they stated the conditions that I would need to meet to be re-considered. Of the 4 items that they listed, I had already complied with most of them a year ago. In the letter, they wanted me to...

I love it when i come up with the hard questions. I think a rei stall is in order :)

That is the problem. When i begin to taxi, the traffic option in the layers goes away. When I have the ipad connected to wifi, i see the traffic

Yes, the traffic layer is on the 375

I get the traffic on the 375. When i create the flightplan in FF, it transfers to the 375. If I make a change, like add a waypoint, FF asks me if i want to update the FF plan, so I know that they communicate. I just do not get the traffic on FF

Unless I was a professional pilot or my career was in danger, I would never waste the money on an attorney, especially for a PPL. Why poke the bear with a stick? Today is 7 months since my HIMMS psych eval was turned in. all my other paperwork has been in since last year, most of it was turned...

Hello I have a GNX 375 installed in my PA 28 Archer. I can share flight plans between the 375 and foreflight, but I do not see traffic. The traffic switch in foreflight goes away and the option does not exist. Am i missing something?

So, just as an update, I finally received a letter from the FAA in September. They requested an asthma study, a sleep apnea study (both checked out fine) and a study from a HIMS PSYCH. I had already made an appointment (for early November). Saw him and he interviewed some of my contacts. He did...

Thank you allPrimes! I appreciate the info! I am not one to shy away from the testing. I would dislike paying for a test I did not need.....I hope that I am as fortunate as you were!

And to everyone else thank you for the information and feedback!

Hello Dr Bruce, When you say that the 10 panels will do no good, what do you mean? I assure you that there has been no alcohol in my body for 13 years (ok, to be fair, very rarely Nyquil and mouthwash, which I am changing). Do you mean that the 10 panels do not test for alcohol? I have made an...
