Hi everyone! I’m a new student pilot and looking for a little advice regarding my first class medical. I’ve read some past postings on here and I’ve come across a couple that are sort of similar to my situation, but I thought I would make my own post to see if I can get some feedback on my own situation. First off, my apologies if my questions have been answered on previous posts, I may have missed information along the way.
So, I am about 24 hours into my PPL and I went for my first class medical exam at the beginning of May this year. Of course, I wish I would have done my research first and did this before starting lessons. As the title states, I have had two DUI’s in my past, so I was deferred. I completely own the mistakes I’ve made in my past and take full responsibility for the poor decision making I have made.
My first dui was in 2002 and the second dui was in 2012. My BAC was 0.14 on both dui’s. I was 20 years old on the first one and 29 on the second one. I’m now 42 years old. There is nothing else on my driving record and it’s been clean since the last dui. I have sent in my full driving record, court documents, police reports, BAC reports, and personal statement. They have everything they need from me and my application went into “in Review” at the beginning of June. I haven’t heard anything as of now.
My questions are, does anyone know what the current timeline I’m looking at to hear something? I know I’m going on 3 months so far, but possibly knowing what to expect would help a lot.
Also, I would love to hear from others that are currently in the same process or from those that have had similar situations as mine and what I could potentially expect. I’m hoping a first class medical is possible as well.
Thanks in advance for all responses!
