    PEth Dried Blood Spot Testing

    Thanks for the response, I am aware of what these tests are looking at, my question is in the regards of the legitimacy/false positives. A case for a possible false positive would be a Peth test taken via dried blood spot being positive and an intravenous 14 days later showing negative. Also a...

    3rd Class SI stuck in HIMS

    I’m curious on this aspect as well, is it when the medical expires typically every 6 months for Alcohol related S.I or when the authorization expires?

    PEth Dried Blood Spot Testing

    I believe there is a major flaw in the Dried Blood Spot Peth Testing method causing multiple false positives. You can read through this thread describing the multiple cases. There is quite a few Pilots, Pharmacists, Doctors, Nurses, Etc that are being affected by this “perfect” test...

    FAA DUI statement tips?

    Just my opinion but it comes off like you don’t think you deserve it at all and it’s all the arresting officers fault. I understand that it is an extreme case for a DUI and believe me when I say the FAA DOES NOT CARE. A DUI is a DUI. I personally am going through the HIMS process and I take full...

    3rd Class HIMS SI granted. Can I upgrade before it expires?

    Curious on what happens typically at the end of these 2 year S.I’s (Specifically HIMs) I’m sure it greatly depends on case by case but the “normal” ones are they reverted back to a standard third class medical or are they renewed for another 2 years.
