Deferred to FAA by AME

Airline Pilot Questions & Answers

I have a question in regards to a 3rd class medical that was deferred for FAA consideration. I took my physical on 09/25/19, everything went good but the AME deferred due to a question about my cancer history Hodgkin’s lymphoma. I have been cancer free for 6 year. AME said I would get a letter from FAA telling me what to send in, but he said I’ve been doing this for a long time and this is what they are going to ask for, and he writes down a list that included getting a letter from my cancer doctor saying that I am no longer taking chemotherapy or radiation and that I have been in remission for 6 years and cancer free. He also said to send in the last scans and blood work that I have done.

Question is should I go ahead and mail everything in to save time or should I wait for letter from FAA telling me everything I should send in?

Thanks,
Marc

Marc,

I would consult your AME, but if it were me I would wait until the information from the FAA arrived or call the FAA and ask them directly.

Wait for the FAA. The letter will contain a few different case #s that you’ll need to include with your response.

Have everything neatly organized and labeled with the case #s on the folder as well as each document to ensure the fastest response from FAA.
