    Lapsed SI a problem for new exam?

    Got my last Third class exam two years ago (4/15/19). Had to get an SI due to a couple minor conditions. Cert says not valid after 4/3/2020, and I had instructions on what to submit for renewal. Well, Covid happened and I wasn't going to be flying anyway, so I didn't see my regular doctor to...

    How long for followup response?

    Timeline: AME Class 3 exam mid-April. Expected I would need an SI, but AME issued medical anyway. Got letter from OKC within a couple weeks. Wanted more info on a number of reported issues. Responded to letter in early July. Took a while to get some really old info. Nothing from OKC since...

    Lunch runs from KFMY

    Looking for suggestions for $100 burger runs from KFMY. There's a cafe with good reviews at KOBE, which would be $100 each way. There's a place at KPGD, but the one review I saw wasn't very good. Anything at KIMM or KX06? TIA!

    KFMY Flying Clubs

    Anyone have any experience to share about flying clubs at KFMY? There's two that I know of - Fort Myers Flying Club (FMFC) and Sundowners. I'm returning to flying after 20+ years off, and just got my Third Class medical renewed. :)

    Seriously rusty pilot looking to get back into it

    Last logged flight was over 20 years ago. Now I'm just hoping I can get an SI for a Class-3. Twenty years has taken a toll on the body... Probably will be based out of KFMY if I get the medical. Any recommendations on FBOs, Clubs, etc in the area are appreciated.
