Hello everyone, I have a question regarding a third-class medical for PPL. I have sleep apnea which requires the use of a CPAP machine and from what I've read it seems as though an AME alone can't issue the medical certificate but rather a special issuance must be obtained from the Feds under FAR 67.401. Have any of you guys had experience with getting such a waiver? Is getting a 3rd class with such a condition a terribly difficult process?
Thanks in advance for the info. I haven't encountered anyone yet who has actually attempted it. Also, my disclaimer is that I haven't actually spoken to an AME as I thought I would post here first in spite of the potential for a semi-public lamblasting ;-)
