Animosity
9 years ago I was convicted of a drug trafficking case (counterfeiting of a controlled substance). I was hit with two F5 charges that were expunged three years ago. I've undergone since some intensive ATF interviews in order to be able to get Class III firearms and had no issues but I understand the FAA is another beast, as is TSA.
I came across a post from Dr. Chien indicating some convictions in which the FAA/TSA will not allow a certification to be issued unless it's past 10 years. Being one year away and DYING to fly I decided to start my Sport Light training since I will not need my medical. Years ago I signed up for my Private Student License and was issued a certificate even after indicating past. I read a thread on here a few hours ago from years past where it stated to someone that even w/ a Sport Pilot License having a felony background (expunged or not) may still prevent me from obtaining my Sport License down the line. Is this true?
Also, the 10 year TSA limitation, has anyone been known to get a license issued prior to the 10 years?
Thanks in advance for any and all help you guys can provide!
