The office urged me to call back and make the appointment once I had the documentation in my hand. I called my doctor and he is writing up the letter and will fax it to me early next week. I will have the letter in my hands and reschedule the appointment.

Hi, Thanks for the previous response, but can someone please comment on my post #88? Thanks

Is this strange? My mom said when the office called they insisted on canceling the appointment until we have the documentation in our hands stating that I can fly a plane safely from my ortropeadic doctor. Like I said this will not be a problem, and I will probably have that letter in my hands...

I don't think that my personal physician would have a problem defending me if it ever came to an appealing process. I would probably beable to produce a number of physicians that would only speak for the better of me. Like I said, my father was a physician and my family has relationships with...

Thanks, and please people still let me know what you think about my plans to visit that AME, I am open to more opinions but will keep your advise in my mind Grant Prellwitz. Also, please continue to give me your opinions on my situation. Thanks again

Hi, The reason why I ask is because the AME who can grant first class medicals is not close, at all to where I am, so I would like to avoid a trip all the way out there if possible. The AME who does not award first class medicals is literally, down the street from me. I looked up the...

Someone earlier said this shouldn't be a problem, but if the AME is not able to award first class certificates can he still tell me if I am eligible for one?

Hi, Like I said I am going for examination by an AME at the end of November. I do not think he can award first class medical certificates but I will find out from him if I will beable to get a first class certificate when I need it. What medical class certificate is required to do most jobs in...

Yes, I guess I didn't think about all of the possibilities. Firefighting, I didn't even realize until now, that would be cool, but arn't those pilots flying the water in actual firefighters too? I would probably never beable to become a firefighter because of my disability.. so does that one go...

Thanks, and I was under the impression that you recieve an ATP certificate after completing many hours. I didn't know you should continue to build up your resume with hours which I am of course, willing and ready to do.

Hi, I am curious about this now. Would flying business jets (charter) (with 8-10 people) be a more realistic goal given my condition? Do I still need a first class medical or would second class be sufficient enough. What is the process compared to that of a commercial pilot? How does the pay...

This is what I was thinking, nevertheless, I would be interested in flying business jets. Long as those uniforms are still apart of the job, ;). Someone let me know if that is more realistic for my condition.

What if I was just a "private pilot" for hire. For example flying 10-12 person business jets around. (NYC-CHI) What is the requirment for that? I suppose this could be a better goal? I do not want to be flying food around in a very small jet it's just not for me, it's great for some people but I...

Why would I need a medical waiver if I can do the samething just the as good as somebody who does not have a disability? The only difference is I have leg braces, but I am not using anything different. I am stuck here. This may answer the limbless question, however what about the people who have...
