You may not be aware of it, but the FAA released all this information when they proposed eliminating the third class medical as an unnecessary expense. I was unaware that the FAA had done this. When was this? George Patterson Coffee is only a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to your slightly older self. |

All:
Got some good news when I spoke to the FAA today. Based apparently on the letter from my primary physician that the ADD diagnosis did not exist in 1965, and noting my educational, professional, and flight training history, the FAA has reinstated my medical. They said they'd send out the certificate this week or next, given the holiday. I'm still upset at the AME, who pulled the trigger on this based on almost zero facts and did not offer any guidance in getting a determination of whether I was really qualified to fly. However, I have to hand it to the FAA for making a relatively quick determination based on the additional information -- I think they deserve credit for that. Thanks, everyone, for the supportive comments. Wiz |

Based apparently on
the letter from my primary physician [...] the FAA has reinstated my medical. Great! And I'm always glad to hear stories of how the FAA operates in our interests rather than against us as a big bureaucracy.

"Wiz" Got some good news when I spoke to the FAA today. Based apparently on the letter from my primary physician that the ADD diagnosis did not exist in 1965, That is awesome! ...sometimes the good guy wins. But, your experience has shown how broken parts of the system are. You mentioned the protocol for a battery of tests the FAA wanted performed by a psychologist or psychiatrist for a diagnosis of ADD which include an IQ test, Rorschach (inkblot) test and depression screening. Does the FAA think that ADD is a form of mental retardation? I wonder if they would be surprised to find out that ADD has no relationship to IQ. It makes you wonder how they come up with this stuff.

I'm still upset at the AME, who pulled the trigger on this based on almost zero facts I've got to wonder if this wasn't a little "payback" for you getting mad because they messed up with your medical numbers, in the first place. Wrong in any case, but I have to wonder. -- Jim in NC |
