I THINK I know the answer to this, and it's not really a medical question, but:
My aircraft insurance application asks "Has any pilot named above had... FAR violation or suspension or revocations of pilot’s license?"
30+ years ago (not certain of the dates but definitely prior to 1988) when I was young and foolish I had a couple of run-ins with the FAA, one for doing aerobatics where I shouldn't (within 4nm of the centerline of a federal airway) and expired medical, for which I paid a $500 civil penalty, and one for minimum altitude (NOT guilty but the witness lied but that's another story), for which I accepted a 6 month suspension since I wasn't going to be flying for awhile anyway for other reasons.
As I understand it, prior to 2010 everything was expunged after 5 years, though nowadays most things aren't expunged. But since it happened so long ago, it should be gone and I have nothing to gain by answering "yes" and opening a can of worms with the insurance company... I think?
