Link to the Show / Show NotesFAA Medical forum titled "What Can I Do If I Lose My Medical
Certificate" by Dr. Warren Silberman, D.O. MPH.
Recorded July 30, 2005 at EAA in Oshkosh, WI.
FAA Medical Special:
Dr. Siberman starts off the forum by explaining the process of
medical certification for the new Sport Pilot license. There has been a
lot of confusion with this, and the Dr. tries to clear it up. He then
moves on to the main topic, how to handle a lost or denied medical
certificate. He has several suggestions, like learning as much as you
can about your condition, checking up on your AME, and proper
management of the waiver packet. if you received a waiver letter from
the FAA, make sure you follow the directions explicitly, and return all
of the information requested. The Dr. stresses that there are certain
conditions an AME can still issue a medical certificate for, if you
have the proper documentation, but some AME's are not aware of this. He
also lists 20 conditions that an AME can issue a certificate for, after
first being deferred, if you provide the information listed in the FAA
waiver letter. Dr. Silberman then explains how a waiver can affect the
time period a normal medical certificate is issued for. The forum is
then opened up to questions from the audience. The Dr. finishes up by
answering questions about depression and associated medications,
prostate cancer and surgery, ADD/ADHD, various eye conditions,
cardiology stress tests, and unapproved medications.
