Hello everyone, I had a mild case of depression anxiety for 5 months in college, and have proof of complete remission since then.
I sent all the information to the FAA and still got denied for my first class medical certificate. Is there a way for me to be reconsidered? They say that I can provide a written request for reconsideration but I was wondering if there is anything I can additionally do to increase my chances.
Also, what are my chances now of getting certificate in the first place? I don’t want to give up just yet, given that my condition no longer exists.
So let me get this straight. You applied for a 1st Class Medical, the AME sent your application to the FAA, the FAA responded with a list of instructions, you complied and sent all requested documents back, and then the FAA denied your 1st Class?
You really need to work with your AME on this but in most cases it’s a matter of getting your treating physician to provide supporting documentation that you’re well.
That’s right, Tory. I sent them all medical records regarding my previous condition and also proof that I have achieved full remission for a sustainable amount of time.
