Guys, wanna thank you all again for your input. Working this new job and going for my PP is what I'm thinking of. I'm flying home feom work tomorrow evening so I'm thinking of enrolling this week at the school near me. I will add that I am very excited and the fact that I got this job and be...

I was looking at Ultralights and they look like a lot of fun. If this doesn't go through then I might just do Ultralights as they do not need a license from the FAA. Thanks!

@AggieMike88, OMG this is insane and a living nightmare. I read your comment last night and couldn't believe what I read. If I was younger I would probably go for the medical despite all these hoops and loops from the FAA. I'll be 49 this year and this would be too much for me to pursue at this...

Dr. Bruce, you stated " prepare for a fusillade of demands from the FAA, and the eventual denial. So start cracking at getting this stuff!". If for sure I'll be denied the medical then why would you suggest " So start cracking at getting this stuff!"? It's the end of the beginning for me as I...

I went all over the city looking for the report that states what I blew and finally found the original ticket at a police precinct. I blew .177 No, I am not abstinent, I barely drink. I drink wine with my girlfriend once or twice a month at home. I was never a drinker, but I guess that time I...

Dr. Bruce nice to hear from you and thank you. I've read a lot about you. Just read your comment and saddened by it as you stated "and the eventual denial". Is this true that I will eventually get denied despite my efforts? I did disclose my DUI on the MedXpress application at the time that I...

My AME wasn't in the office today so I'll return this week when I receive my new glasses as he required me to do so. I didn't pass his eye test as he claimed I have a weak left eye and he was right. Another question if I may ask you guys. I read on another forum that pilots with a DUI aren't...

Thank you all. I feel a bit better from all of your inputs on this. I hear Dr Kevin Fox, AME in my area, is a real cool dude and is always willing to help out. I've printed all necessary driving history including my DUI tickets and will see Dr Fox today. My DUI seems to be the biggest deal and...

Thank you BrianNC. I wouldn't think so neither and hope not. The DUI I admitted it on the MedXpress application when I originally filled it out. I'm thinking of visiting him tomorrow since I've picked up the requested documentations regarding my DUI and I've also received new meds for my HBP. I...

Who is this Dr Bruce ? I hear his name all over this forum. If his number is provided I'll definately give him a call. Yes, that is my only DUI and accident which I was issued 3 tickets and they were all dismissed. I have a couple of infractions such as driving too close, maybe a speeding ticket...

OK, so what happens if I just don't go back to the AME and abandon this dream of mine? Would the FAA go after me? Or is there a way to come clean with the AME and include missing information on the application? I had a motorcycle accident in 2008 and I was hospitalized and had a surgery on my...

Hello everyone. I've read this post and was wondering if I can get some input as well. For the past 10 years I've been thinking of pursuing my dream and become a pilot. I'm an engineer and I've been flying for work for the last 20 years(80%travel). After losing my job back in September I've...
