Hey guys I have been reading as much as I can on this subject and reading the forums on this site and decided I might as well post as this seems like a good place for helpful info.
Background. I have two alcohol related incidents all reported to the FAA. One in 2010 non blow DUI stop. Automatic license suspension. Case was dismissed and expunged including arrest record but driver license suspended is on my DMV record. DUI in 2014 plead guilty. 100% my fault and take full responsibility. Won't try and make them sound better than they were dumb mistakes and I can only move forward and do what I need to chase my dream. Have my PPL but my Third class medical was revoked. Stopped drinking completely last October.
Current status found a specialized AME who handles these situations and he has put me on a HIMs program. Saw a HIMS psychiatrist last November and he laid out my game plan. Started random drug/alcohol testing in February (14 per year) 6 weeks IOP, After care 2 group and 1 individual a month. AA 3 times a week (logged). I have completed everything above and continuing the reoccurring items. The last item was to do a Cog Screen which is scheduled this month.
My questions-
What can I expect with this cog screen/ how to prepare?
What can I expect for a third class SI if issued and a timeline for obtaining this. How long does the typical third class SI issued for and when/does it get reverted back to a standard.
Any other helpful information would be appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this and any feedback.
