Finally heard from the FAA Medical
|
I just wanted to follow up with my previous post on the FAA Medical Class 3 application I had posted several weeks back.
Believe it or not, after?50 weeks?and countless calls to Oklahoma City, I FINALLY heard back from the FAA Medical on my Class 3 Medical.?Since my prior AME exam had expired 02SEP2024, it looks like they recognized the impact of their delay and gave me an opportunity to get the Third Class I finally qualified for.?Here is the actionable part of the letter:
"In order to obtain a third-class airman medical certificate, it will be necessary for you to undergo a current third-class physical examination by a designated aviation medical examiner (AME). The AME is authorized by this letter to issue you a third-class airman medical certificate bearing the limitation, 'Not valid for any class after October 31, 2025', provided he finds you otherwise qualified.?This authorization expires on October 31, 2030."
The letter goes on to outline the list of medical data I'd need to furnish if I wanted to maintain the Medical Third Class certificate after October 31, 2025.?That said, my interest is in obtaining Basic Med certificate rather than maintain a Third Class medical.
I guess that sounds like a Win!
Cheers, Mike Bellino
