    Special issuance for 3rd class medical

    Denial or deferral? If you already had a denial letter the first time I don't think you'd have gotten letters 2 & 3. If it's a another deferral you're still in the game.

    Special issuance for 3rd class medical

    I was deferred 4 times. It took 3 months the first two times, 3 weeks the second two times to hear back. I was given from 30 to 60 days to respond to each request for data. Not a fun marathon, very frustrating, but I did cross the finish line.

    Where to start

    Have your realtor look for you an old spaghetti farm.... 60 feet wide by 3,675 feet long.... That's your best chance on 5 acres. I have 13 acres that's 3 times long as it is wide and I'm not close to having enough space to land anything but the best of the best bush planes in there on an ideal day.

    In-air oil changes? What?! How did they do it?

    I would imagine they plumbed in 2 remote oil filters that could be valved off one at a time while they changed the other one. They also had to have a way to monitor engine oil level during flight. Most likely a sight glass arrangement. The article I read said they pumped fresh oil in to add oil...

    Finally doing it..

    Update.... Canned again but down to one item only, no more mention of the two biggies, so I guess I've cleared those hurdles. Now we're down to the dreaded sleep apnea loop. Should be doable, just going to further delay things again. Should have soloed months ago but can't without medical i...
