So I got a call from a student pilot (5 hrs) of mine that his medical was rejected to to blood pressure just over the limit. He was 155/100 and the limit is 150/95. He is a fit p90x type of guy, but told me today that he has always had "hot" blood pressure and his doctor has always assured him he was fine. The AME is pretty new "green" and the student was left very confused at the explanation of what is to come next. Basically told him to wait for a letter .
As an instructor I understand there are 2 options in this situation,
-Special Issuance
-Provide Evidence that condition is not disqualifying.
So
Can he begin the special issuance process now?
What is best course of action to get this over with?
This same AME created a nightmare for one of my other students at his first med renewal long long story but this dude is getting on my nerves.
Thanks All!
BTW. I'm gonna keep him flying for now.
