Actually George, I didn't know that either :-))))))))))))) I've just never
had occasion before to be checking on people this way......or myself for
that matter.
I'm glad you posted this. It helps clear up a very minor point of curiosity
for me at least as to why the hell I'm not listed. It all makes sense now,
and everything falls right into place.
Thank you

It actually takes years for people to disappear from the DB after they lose a
medical, but they go away after a while.

That would be it for me. Lost the medical years ago. That's the reason I
became a consultant :-)

I lost my medical back in 1990 and at some point after that disappeared from the
registry, despite the old saw about being licensed for life. When I got my
medical back last month, I miraculously reappeared in the registry.

Fifteen years ago I was a pilot, and now I are one again. G

Actually, my curiosity has been piqued by all this nonsense being thrown
out here about not being on a data base. I've given the numbers back channel
to a select few friends on the group to research and see if they can find
out the exact reason why someone.....anyone...would appear or not appear on
the data bases.

I'm glad for you.

A good friend recently had to go through something of that sort, but
thankfully not quite as bad. He'd actually received a note of final
rejection (or whatever it was called). But somehow he and/or his examiner
managed to get past even this.

We joke about it being one of, of not the, most expensive medical ever.

But welcome back into the fold (and the DB {8^).

Being in a computer database doesn't make you a pilot! :-)

Congratulations!

Well, that's not accurate. As I posted to D.H., my father has been
deceased since 1976, and he is in the data base. My uncle hasn't had a
medical in over 40 years, and he is there also.

Why don't you just call the FAA and get the information you want? At least
find out what the data parameters are so you will know why one pilot will be
in the data base and another will not. I'm sitting here looking at my
certificates so I'd like to know also. After you make your call to the FAA,
post back here with the answer so all of us will know.
