    Updated FAA Medical Processes / Repost from Reddit

    I've read that too. I'm still waiting it out a bit as I'm in no rush, just wanting to get back into flying. Got my PPL back in 04', stopped flying, then messed up by applying for a 3rd class instead of Basic Med. I've only been on an SSRI for a few years, and it's an approved SSRI. Was diagnosed...

    Updated FAA Medical Processes / Repost from Reddit

    Hello All, I found this post on Reddit that was discussed a few days ago. I wanted to repost it here for everyone to take a look at it and see what you're thoughts may be. I know that we have a few HIMS AMEs who follow this form so I wanted to know what they thought about the upcoming changes...

    Multiple Medications / Anxiety Question

    I was advised by my HIMS AME that it will go to OKC. Only 2nd and 1st classes would go to DC.

    Multiple Medications / Anxiety Question

    Hey Everyone, I just wanted some clarification as I'm confused. I'm currently going through the SSRI path 1 to stay on Zoloft. My BCP prescribed me Klonopin for a short period of time with Zoloft. It was only an "as needed" pill which my BCP explains in a personal letter to the FAA and my...

    3rd Class Medical Denied (Re-thinking my next steps)

    Thank you, this was what I was looking for, a little encouragement. I appreciate your feedback, and I feel this would be the best thing. Just re-focus and give it another go. I know that I will get through it eventually and receive that SI that I need. Thanks again for the words of advice!

    3rd Class Medical Denied (Re-thinking my next steps)

    Just to clarify, I had an active medical after July 14th, 2006. So basic med would have been a path for me, but that's neither here nor there any longer. I just have to move forward.

    3rd Class Medical Denied (Re-thinking my next steps)

    Yes, that is correct. I'm a PPL who had a previous class 3 medical. I stopped flying for around 15 years and wanted to get back into it.

    3rd Class Medical Denied (Re-thinking my next steps)

    To sum it up, I was deferred for being on Zoloft. I came here, learned what I needed to do, and started the process. I met with a HIMS AME and was linked up. Took my COGScreen AE exam, I gathered all the records from my BCP and therapist and had them sent to my HIMS AME. Unfortunately, we didn't...

    Qualification Under Basic Med

    So, I'm currently jumping through hoops to satisfy the FAA for my 3rd class renewal. I was recently deferred and I'm working with a HIMS AME to get an SI. However, I did some research today and found this...

    CogScreen- AE Questions

    Not an AME so take it how you will. I just went through this myself. My doctor even reconmended cognitive rehab, so I believe you can. As for the other test, been here too. I dont think it would go bad if they're allowing you to retake it. I'm sure there are many factors as to why a test would...

    Feeling Defeated - 3rd class SI

    Does anyone else know if the result of "inconclusive," will cause problems, even if I pass it next time? Referring to the MMPI-2 and SAAS-2.

    Love this. Thank you.

    Feeling Defeated - 3rd class SI

    For real! That's where I'm coming from. It depends! Is it asking how I feel at that exact moment, the past 2 weeks? Or my life altogether? Furthermore, the SASSI-2 asked for conditions in the last 6 months. That test is primarily about alcohol, which in 6 months I've maybe had 4 to 5 drinks...

    Feeling Defeated - 3rd class SI

    Maybe, but it's not my passion. I'm really just looking for some help, or words of encouragement. I went through and re-read the exam, and though the Dr. essentially wrote up a no-go, he didn't leave me without any options. I know the Dr. is just doing his part and being honest, so I'm not upset...

    Feeling Defeated - 3rd class SI

    Hey All, I had been deferred for being prescribed an SRI (Zoloft). I have everything checked off the list, but my Cog-screen came back with issues. Furthermore, the examiner described that I wasn't forthcoming enough in regards to my medical conditions. I personally disagree, as I told them...

    How do you change your HIMS Dr?

    Hello, I'll try to make this as brief as possible. I'm in a deferral for a class 3 med for being on an approved SSRI. I have a BCP as my prescribing doctor, another physiatrist as my therapist, all with who I have a good relationship. I've also completed my FAA Cog exam. Now with that out of...
