The first paragraph is "Our favorable review of your interim follow-up reports regarding your history of obstructive sleep apnea treated with CPAP has established that you are inelgible for medical certification under Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs) revised pert 67; specifically...

I apologize for lack of detail...was trying to keep it short. In response to questions from Dr. Bruce, yessir I did send in the sleep study, current status, etc. I sleep with CPAP primarily for snoring and the apnea is "very mild".

I got my PPL many years ago. After a lengthy "layoff" from flying - primarily because of time constraints, I finally got in a position to jump back in. I sleep with a CPAP machine and when I worked on getting my Medical renewed, I had to furnish some medical history on the reason for CPAP usage...

Thank you Dr. Bruce. Yes, I too belive that Ron is mistaken. All of the paperwork has flowed through me and I obviously I visited with the eye doc during the exam. There was no deterioration noted. However, this is the first Med that I have sought since the accident that resulted in the slight...

I have my PPL but have been inactive for many years. Trying hard to jump back in. Working on getting my 3rd Class Med Cert and already had exam, etc with AME. I rec'd a letter back from FAA requesting a laundry list of info - primarily stemming from injuries I sustained from an accident 10 years...

Thanks for all the good info. It didnt take long for me to learn firsthand that this forum is a great resource. I am excited about the opportunity to "get back to flying" and appreciate the help.

I got my Private Pilots Cert many years ago, but have not flown in a number of years. I am now taking steps to get curent on everything and begin flying again. I even bought an interest in a plane. I have taken my medical exam but am waiting on FAA response regarding any special requirements...
