Seek the help you need and do not report it to the faa. They Are such pieces of garbage and will only find out if you disclose it. Don’t tell the feds a thing!

Sounds like they withdrew/revoked your medical. Now you have to wait a while till they decide to get around to your case and make a judgement.

Tell me about it. Been waiting 16.5 months

@JimBirk was yours for a 3rd class medical?

Wouldn’t a professional of some type have to diagnose him with that? And until that happens he can still use basicmed?

Yes, but with .15 you will probably be marked as dependent. If I were you I would go basic med and if you still want to go commercial/atp down the line you can start going thru the steps for HIMS. This way you don’t have to stop flying.

Did you report the dui to the faa? You need to report the dui to the faa and also on your next medical application. If you’re just flying for fun you should just go to basic med because the faa will probably make you do HIMS and require you to spend thousands of dollars and possibly have to do...

Yup. Peth is complete garbage. I don’t understand how the FAA allows the use of Peth on pilots when it’s not FDA approved. They probably don’t care how many lives it destroys as long as their friends are making tons of money.

I have no idea how they do things over there. I know airline pilots that were doing coke, alcoholics or were addicted to meth and the faa gave them there medical 2-4 months after their records were sent in. I’ve been waiting over a year and theyve told me nothing. They have free reign to do...

Call the faa and ask them what’s going on. If they don’t give you a good enough answer then immediately call your HIMS AME. If the AME can’t give you a good answer or doesn’t seem to care find a new one.

It’s not really possible to game the system when it comes to HIMS. You might be able to for a little bit but long term it’s not really possible. Your files go thru so many hands someone is going to see thru any BS. Eventually certain patterns or behaviors if negative would become apparent and...

HIMS AME uses choice lab. Should I ask if that can be changed?

I’m paying 100-130 per test, but I don’t have any control over where I go.

Then I’m guessing you don’t use choice labs? Because they are wayyy more expensive than that.

The faa will see this as him lying on the first 8500 form he ever filled out and will revoke his medical. Best thing to do is just not disclose once he needs a first class medical. If he only wants to flight instruct that can be done under basic med or a 3rd class medical too. Upper management...

Wow. Another AME that lies.

I think you can get a sport certificate if you have no problems with the controls. Wouldn’t need any type of medical or a soda

I would be talking to an attorney if a Cfi gave false information to the faa.

In most cases that makes sense, but this wasn’t him getting a dui driving his car alone. He had already run thru his checklists and the plane was 100% full. I personally know part 121 guys that didn’t even get there medical back that fast and didn’t get arrested for attempting to fly a passenger...

Sounds like the person you live with has bipolar disorder which is completely different than depression.
