Well guys I’ve done a lot of reading on this forum along with various other places these past couple months doing my research about how to handle my DUI that I got back in 2016. “One and only” Rest assure I don’t plan on making that mistake ever again and have since put down drinking.
Currently I’m a student pilot training here in Oklahoma working on my PPL, Aviation is something that I’ve always wanted to do for a career so that’s why I went ahead and pursued on getting my 1st Class Med. Well I went in for my medical today with all my documentation that I’ve collected over the past couple months with the help of the AME Guide. “That definitely helped a lot”
Well I felt like I had a decent chance that I was going to be able get issued my Medical that day since my BAC was a 0.09 and I had everything on the list the FAA required the AME have to issue me my medical same day:
Well to keep a long story even longer I guess my first mistake was going to an in experienced AME, good man but I don’t think flight medicals is what he does very often which is probably the reason why he didn’t feel comfortable issuing me a medical that day and decided to leave my fate up the FAA Lords and forcing me into the FAA limbo. I guess I would asked how long this process might take but after reading 19 years sober and 21 year old dui it’s not looking very promising even with only one DUI and it being under 0.15. I guess I’m really making this is to keep a log about the process for anyone who might stumble upon it that faces the same problem I have and maybe learn from my mistake and hopefully, fingers crossed another happy ending and the “key to the airspace kingdom”
My CFI did give me the number to the RFS office and told me to give them a call Monday to see if they have received my paperwork telling me “the squeaky wheel get greased” so I guess I’ll check back in then to drop off an update.

- Court Records
- Police Report with BAC “had to do some hunting for that”
- Personal Statement
- 10 yr MVRs for the states that I’ve been licensed in “Only was able to the obtain a 3 yr from Oklahoma since I guess they do not do history MVR’s”
- Also did the liberty of obtaining my NDR report “Which was kind of weird since my DUI didn’t show up on it only my suspension from when I missed a court date for a ticket back in 2013 dummy move I know”
