A student is up for renewal for a first class medical. Currently working through their commercial license.
When they first filled out their first class medical in ‘19 they omitted a DUI in 2015 for driving while under influence of Marijuana. Their only traffic violation and criminal charge. Charge was reduced to a reckless, have police and toxicology reports, very high THC levels in blood work. They received their first class medical and never thought of it again with no repercussions from FAA.
Now as theyre filling out a new app on medxpress I am seeing the blatant omission. How should they approach this, they do not want to deal with HIMS, do a psych evaluation etc.
What are the chances this will be caught by the FAA since they already received a 1st class in the past?
Thanks for all the great information in these threads. The info is invaluable.
