    New AME exam while waiting for first Deferral

    Okay, so it's still a 1st class that is issued BUT only useable for 2nd class privileges and I will need to see the AME again to renew 1st class privileges again.

    New AME exam while waiting for first Deferral

    Thank you everyone for the replies. As this is my first time trying for a medical, let alone a 1st class, I just didn't know. So my understanding is that if I don't do another AME exam next month (may 2023) when the FAA does issue my medical, I don't expect they won't just might need to supply...

    New AME exam while waiting for first Deferral

    Hey all, I'm currently waiting out the Deferral process for a 1st class medial due to a TIA (Transit Ischemic Attack, aka a Mini Stroke) I had just over 9 years ago. I've gotten all the exams and imaging that has been requested and have sent them in. My question is this. It's been 5 months now...

    Student Medical TIA

    Thanks, good luck to you too. Haven't attempted even starting yet as I have no idea how long it will take for the bureaucratic wheels to grind. Meanwhile I'm wondering if in May I'll have to take another exam (6 months from my original AME visit for a 1st Class over 40 years old) or wait until I...

    Student Medical TIA

    That's great news! Very similar time span for me as well. AME for 1st Class in November, letter in December for additional testing (looked up and did a majority of what the FAA wanted before hand but a few tests were over 90 days old), had to ask for extra time as it takes a hot minute to get a...

    Rotator Cuff Repair w/ Bicep Tendonesis

    Had both rotator cuff repair (torn labrum) and a bicep tendinesis of the same shoulder. First in 2007 and then 2019 both were successful and I fully recovered from both. Would say my recover from both were about 6-8 months each. No issues with geometry changes for the tendonesis as the remaining...

    Cogscreen - If all pilots had to take it, how many would pass?

    Actually had to take a Cognitive assessment, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment to be exact (preferred by the FAA), due to a TIA (mini stroke) I had nearly 10 years ago. Passed it with full marks (30 out of 30 possible points). It wasn't to bad in my opinion, but thankfully my prognosis was much...

    Student Medical TIA

    I am hoping to fly for the airlines so Sport Pilot won't work. To update what is going on: Got a response from the FAA on 12/16/22 that they needed more info (my Neuro exam, Echocardiogram and MRA's were out of day by a little bit IE less than a month but still over 3 months) they also wanted a...

    Student Medical TIA

    Also had a TIA back in Feb of 2014 (no lasting effects, less than 24 hours in the hospital and was back to work/school the following days) and am currently hoping to obtain an 1st class medical. Thankfully I both checked the FAA's sight and consulted with an AME beforehand. Got all the tests...
