I shall give this a try. I would hope they would give me more time since they short-changed me two weeks. One should be able to see the notice in the Medxpress portal but all I see is the date of the correspondence.

So my class 3 application got deferred (expected). Apparently the FAA sent out a notice dated 11/16/2022 with further instructions on what needs to be done on my end which is a full neurological assessment with imaging (also expected). The problem, I didn't actually receive the notice until...

Thank you Brad!

Hi all, How does one report a doctor visit AFTER the MedXpress application has been submitted?

Hi Dr. Chien, thanks for chiming in! I saw two ENT's and neither saw fit to diagnose me with anything after describing to them the situation. The last episode I had was nearly 6 years ago. I'm assuming I would indicate this in my cover letter along with the reason as to why I saw the ENT's in...

Finally got some answers from a few AMEs. It was suggested, however, I accompany my ENT test documents that I will be sending to the FAA with a cover letter explaining the reason for the visits in the first place. Any specific way I should write this letter or just a simple business format...

He had an endolymphatic sac shunt surgery to drain the ear of fluid build-up. With respect to how he's doing now, no clue but a book I read detailing the space flights indicated that he was completely cured. I don't know whether or not I have Meniere's, it was just a self-diagnosis. One ENT...

I have had zero correspondence with the FAA.

Thank you so much Dr. Lou!! I will call on Monday :)

Seriously! If anyone knows an AME who is willing to do a consultation, let me know! I'll even do a Zoom call or normal call or whatever and I will most certainly pay them for their time.

Hate to keep bringing this up but I've had no luck finding an AME that will do just a consultation (despite my offering to pay them). I've contacted at least a dozen of them around the city I live in (Los Angeles) and they all say that they don't do consults, that I need to take an appointment...

@kell490 Thank you for all the advice you've give me, you have been most helpful. A quick search of AME's around me and I get what you're saying with respect to "part-timers" and those who require you to have the MedExpress with confirmation # done before you walk in. I shall diligently keep...

Thank you for the replies. At this point, all that is left would be for me to get imaging done of my head, either a CT scan or MRI (preferably). I don't see how a neurologist can determine anything specific without imaging that two ENT's couldn't find. I'll start to look around for one. If I...

Update: Had my ENT appointment today. The doctor turned out to be a really nice old timer who had some pilots in the family. I explained to him what had experienced in the past with vertigo (what I wrote in my original post above). He proceeded to check my ears and then I was administered a...

Good call on seeing an AME first, should have done that but I'm seeing another ENT tomorrow for a second opinion. Fingers crossed all goes well. I suppose I can make an appointment with an AME also. I agree with you, I would also like to know for sure that I'll never experiencing vertigo...
