Reapplying for 3rd Class after heart bypass last year. Went thru the ME that I'd used for years on every medical to submit.
Everything was current up to 9/2017. After five months we finally got a letter from FAA which said in bold: that "...the stress test does meet requirements listed above."
We called for clarification since it also said we need to provide CD rom of a cardiac cath, and when we called, they said, "Oh there's a typo in your letter, it's actually DOESN'T meet requirements. You are 30 seconds short."
They seemed unfazed at such a typo that led us to believe incorrect information! And we're unsure what to do. Seems ME would have flagged this as he's done it for years? Mentions an explantory letter from physician if not able to complete...the issue at the time of stress test was more a recent knee injury than a cardiac issue to finish.
Anyone else encountered such a serious miscommunication of information? What can we expect from our ME as far as help on this?
