The current rate of advancement upward in commercial aviation career wise is as fast as I have ever seen it. Those flying only for fun, especially if they own their own airplane are witnessing increasing restrictions and cost for flying. Those who only rent have also noticed the increase in rental fees. But as is the case here in Seattle where you see help wanted signs everywhere so also the same phenomenon is happening to the FAA. In addition to the less than desirable location of Oklahoma City, they’re finding it in addition to be difficult to hire employees for the same reason every one else is. The job of medical certification has as well gotten more complicated because despite common belief otherwise the agency is letting more and more pilots with serious medical conditions to fly. But their own shortage of help has resulted in them simply dumping more of the certification of complicated medicals on the individual aviation medical examiner. It now takes us much longer to process the medicals for those on special issuance or caci certification. Due to that increase in the work on our part most of us have decided to pass that cost of that extra work onto those who have special issuances or caci certification requirements. Effective immediately there will be an additional $65 charge for anyone needing a special issuance or a caci.
As many of you are aware, I have no intention of ever retiring. I’ve been flying since 1968 and own my own plane and hangar. I can get almost anyone who needs a medical success in that regard. But I restrict my access to the beginning and end of the month. Schedule just as early as you can. Please check available dates and times by going to the CALENDAR and doing so. Anyone available during the days and times listed will be taken care of. Face masks are available at the office by those choosing to use them.
Prior to any FAA medical exam you must go to https://medexpress.faa.gov/ and fill out the FAA application form and obtain a confirmation number. Print a copy of the application if you can but if you can’t, don’t worry because I can bring it up once I have the confirmation number. That application is good for 60 days, but not longer and drops out after2 months and you will need to repeat the application were that to happen. I cannot get you a medical without a confirmation number. Please do not wait until you arrive at my office to go to the web site and do it. The web site is like every other web site. Not always easy to work with or available.
Here are maps and directions to my office.
