I forgot that I was due and this is my first renewal since obtaining my private 5 years (+ sometime) ago. I haven’t flown as PIC since expiration, but I want to fly soon, so I’d better get this taken care of. I had hoped that the AME that did my Student Medical would be able to make the process faster, considering that he should have my file from 5 years ago.
I called to try to get seen quickly. He’s on vacation for a couple weeks. I called again today, after waiting several weeks and unable to get an answer to my phone calls.
I don’t have any new issues except a recent surgery for an appendectomy and I prefer to not have my medical information spread over multiple locations. This previously wasn’t a concern for me, but since becoming a pilot I reasoned that it would be a convenience for me in consolidating my medical files.
I can wait for my previous AME. The questions are: Should I? Does it matter? What does everyone else here do? Shop AMEs or pick one and stick?
