Just trying to get a little guidance as to the most efficient way to navigate getting what I assume will be a special issuance certificate.
I’ve been floating around the idea of getting my PPL for a few month now. For Christmas, I was gifted basically half the cost, prepaid at a local flight school. Obviously being excited I start researching and got into the medical portion. I have clear disqualifying conditions. I had a Ross Procedure (aortic valve replacement) in 1998 when I was 10. I had an aortic root replacement, which is a common follow up procedure need on approximately 50% of Ross Procedures, in 2017. Never had an medical limitations. No medicine outside of a daily baby aspirin. I get annual checkups which I get echocardiograms to make sure everything still looks good in there.
I guess know that information, what’s my most efficient approach? From what I’ve read it seems like it can take 6 or so months to navigate getting the special issuance certificate. I assume it would make sense to delay training until I find out if I am granted a special issuance.
Any guidance would be amazing.
