... and realized I may have screwed up bigtime
Yesterday (Friday) I got my 3rd class medical & student pilot cert issued by the AME in his office. As you all know, question 18w asks about criminal history.... I answered 'no' based on the fact that I have a 10 year old California felony conviction that has been judicially expunged (I have a copy of the signed order and minute order from the hearing).
After doing some reading (mostly on this website), I realize that I should have answered 'yes' and offered an explanation and brought copies of my paperwork to the AME. How quickly does the AME have to send their paperwork to the FAA? Is it possible to revise my responses before the application is sent? If not, is it possible to contact the FAA and come clean to them over the phone or by mail?
I should add that I'm an A&P mechanic and I don't want to end up losing that certificate due to making false statements on the medical application
