In article et,
"Bashir Salamati" Never, never, never admit anything to an AME. Never. Ever. Even if you are having a stroke in his office. Is this still good advice in light of: "Falsification of a medical application is subject to up to 5 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and revocation of a pilot certificates and ratings." The key thing is to not admit anything, that's different from lying. Be honest, but don't tell them what they don't ask. Basicaly remember that the AME is NOT your doctor, he's an agent of the FAA. And it's not his job to 'help you' or 'improve your health.' He's a screener and sometimes not a very good one. I plan to become an AME after I complete my residency (applying for Med-Peds currently). I'd like to think that I'd be fair, but I also know that I'll act as an agent of the FAA. The main reason I want to become an AME is to HELP pilots get through the process. I'd ground them if necessary, but I'd like to try to help them through the system too. I know a few other AME's that are like that (mine is also a pilot and use to rent from the same club, the club has since folded). |
