Default FAA Medical Question

I am not sure that is true; are you? The question on form 2120-0034 is: "HAVE
YOU EVER IN YOUR LIFE BEEN DIAGNOSED...". You have only two blocks to check for
each listed condition: "Yes" or "No". If you check "Yes", it is up to your AME
to resolve to issue as per FAA guidlines, or deny you. My point is that the
thresholds that your doctor uses are subject to change based on current
research, and they are likely not the same thresholds found in FAA regulations.


It's not true. The actual name of the diagnosed condition matters a lot,
although numbers matter, too.
