chances of getting caught lying on faa medical
The AME also cannot read their minds, so he cannot go beyond a reasonable interpretation either to help with these questions. Jack, petition the FAA to quit demanding the maintenance of wakefulness test. Can you say, Martha Stewart?, I do think that the First and Second class medical criteria should be more stringent.. Others have their dreams dashed who lived years longer flying ultralights. If they say that you have a condition that requires you to be grounded, then fill out an 8500-8 medical form. Brian, what about a medication that was rx when you were eight and havent taken for 20yrs? Seek help, get punished? FAA Current Detailed Clinical Progress Notes. no? Logic dictates that if the medical requirement did not exist, the number of incapacitations would be somewhat higher. If you have a FAA medical denial for ADHD, call your aviation attorney at The Ison Law Firm for a consultation. You never know what will happen to a pilot in flight with his medical conditions. I would respect them more if they screened for problems and helped people cure them, rather than go over the hill with a knee jerk reaction. I wonder if your AME is really doing everything he can to be your advocate in this situation. Im depressed, so their answer is to tell me I cant do anything to fix my problem whilst simultaneously denying me something that significantly helps with my depression: Flying? If you decide to undergo a physical despite questionable health, first gather all medical documents, such as a letter from your family doctor stating that a condition has been treated and resolved, and present them to the AME. Because of the Medical, no physician is my friend and neither are their nurses because they can enter accurate or inaccurate information into your record either one of which will condemn you. I think a regular physical should be required, but the special AME physical in all reality boils down to a tax disguised as safety concern. Skye, If you have not required counselling for a few years and are not taking anti-depressants you should be good to go. Heres more information on the FAAs battery of neuropsychological testing: https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/avs/offices/aam/ame/guide/dec_cons/disease_prot/adhd/. Still there are occasional exceptions where a commercial or airline pilot dies in the cockpit. On the part of most pilots here its not lying. In my case I have never lied, but if Im at risk of loosing my license for a medical condition that is under control I might do that also. There are are more decisions that have to be made while driving than flying. thank you, that will be $110. We can never win with you, only lose. I do think that the First and Second class medical criteria should be more stringent. Note, denial is different from deferral. A highly experienced AME, also a 747/DC-10 Captain for a major airline, once told me that crewmembers lose consciousness in the seat about half a dozen times every year. WOW they had a conniption, and I lost my ticket for several months while they dithered. Not all applicants with OSA are required to have that test. I was not asked or tested for alertness. By comparison, about that same number of deaths a year are caused by lightning strikes or even falling out of bed. I had kidney stone surgery 12 years ago and over the last two years I passed two stones at home. Those that are honest will remain so, and those who arent never will be honest. And the FAAs restrictions regarding SSRIs effectively make it impossible for use by commercial pilots. I dont think its ever been a question about whether pilots lie. What will actually happen if you are caught lying? I think its a very poor decision to falsify your medical. The cost of the medical exam will vary by location and examiner as well as the type of exam given. Where is this regulation? If you can afford to own or rent an airplane, you can afford to pay an AME. My 10k already spent, to me was wasted. Yes, all my discussion was only applicable to private, recreational pilots, not airline or large freight liner pilots. However, if you do get caught, at best you will lose your license. ANY RESPONSE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! An attorney that focuses on FAA medical denials may be able to guide you through the process and work with the FAA to achieve certification. I for one, not being a medical doctor, place my trust in my AME and my PCP. Until the rules change, abide by them, and make sure you self monitor. The FAA is hopelessly stuck in the stone age, especially in the Aeromedical division. That is approximately the same magnitude as deaths from lightning strikes, or falling out of bed (literally). There is no rule to disclose insulin dependence for a drivers license and a drivers license, not a medical certificate, is all that is required to fly as a sport pilot. https://www.oig.dot.gov/sites/default/files/SAFE_PILOT_Testimony_july17.pdf. Cancer is ranked highest for men, With an 11.6 percent chances of getting caught lying on faa medical up to $ 200 self-reporting nature, chance. We have a very good AME in our area. In order to understand how likely it is the FAA would catch you lying, it is important to understand how they would catch you. Some pilots are terrified of the FAA's power to revoke their flying privileges and, accordingly, bend or ignore the rules. No, get a different one. The regulations are not arbitrary. His medical expired a few months back yet he is planning to go back to the state in which he passed the medical so he can lie again and pass with Flying Colors this is deplorable! Everyone should say they have been dizzy. Pilots that I talk to share the same dreams as I do and we all began chasing the dream at an extremely young age. Pilot organizations offer free advice to members, commercial outfits offer advice and assistance for a fee and printed resources are available. However, the general health standards to meet a drivers license requirement would seem to be a good screening source to id potential problems of health. Such a persons private physician(s) might not think so, but those physician(s) have no say in the matter. I live in the UK and the medical over here for a pilot licence, they dont do an EEG. Took the FAA medical (stand on this leg, stand on that leg can you see anything out of this eye, can you see anything out of that eye). Therefore I go to a chiropractor every chance I get. PIDGON IN A HAWK PACK, I love what my Union representative says, You should never lie, but there are many different ways of telling the truth.. That is the FAA point of view. But is the whole medical certificate process flawed? The MedXPress application In order to understand how likely it is the FAA would catch you lying, it is important to understand how they would catch you. The absurdity is having a major federal bureaucracy policing this incredibly low number of deaths. Thus, agencies such as the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and Federal Bureau of Identification (FBI), for example, will most likely still be able to see your expunged records. How about the person that might have some minor anxiety issues? Most those fellas at the FAA seem pretty smart, but they must be pretty spineless too. Seems arbitrary to me. This is done by directly contacting you the pilot. How about providing you SSAN when the FAA does not need it? They generally do not spend a significant amount of time reviewing each one. When reading many aviation magazines and articles it seems likely that most accidents are a result of lack of proficiency rather than due to medical issues. Pilots most likely have wanted too fly since they were kids. The information contained herein is meant for informational purposes only. The message the FAA should be sending to pilots in my opinion is Manage your health. The other is you tell the FAA about something. According to Pilot Self-Grounding Requirements (CFR 61.53), pilots have the duty to ground themselves and report to the FAA any changes in their medical condition before they are able to fly again. Let me repeat that, every single one, no exceptions. The whole thing is about safety but the FAA has never proven the need for the medicals, especially the third class, it was just randomly instituted one day a long time ago. instead of just listening to the engine, watch the instruments that monitored the engine. The standards are too strict and the FAA bases thier decisions (especially on medication) on generalizaitons instead of listening to the pilots and doctors. I did not disclose my name or address when I created this account. Why? We train for emergencies and stalls etc. your PIC in the Cockpit might have the most serious medical condition, but will never no it thats why the federal government made the HIPPA law. This is very disturbing to say the least, why bother imposing rules, laws or the like if there is no punishment implemented??? and moved on to checking the no column for the rest of the page. Skye, you may be a little over the top with your attitude but not by all that much. Now compare the above tabulation with: GA total deaths 400 It is a good thing that there are no sport airplanes to rent in your location. I am a nurse and I see it all of the time. I told the truth (that I had a very early-stage, very treatable cancer) and had my medical yanked. Even patients, with well controlled epilepsy, may safely drive. With over 20,000 hours of real world experience, much of it in Cessna 172s and P210s, Collins wrote about safety, weather and air traffic control from first-hand experience. However, I also think that the standards for commercial and airline pilots should be more stringent. Never used my weapon except for training. I could not stop thinking about being in the air. Does anyone know the statistics of how often a dead pilot at a crash is found to have prescribed medications for a condition that has not been reported on the 8500-8? Fly over open country and probably be able to put the plane down in a field if there were trouble but the FAA has a BIG resounding NO for that. Id probably be in better shape if I *wasnt* a pilot since Id feel free to take advantage of those things, whereas now theyre just traps, ways to lose the ability to fly. If you submit something on your MedXPresss application that does not agree with previous applications, that can trigger an in-depth review, Your AME can defer your application for any reason that will most like result in further information requests, The FAA could request information based on the results of your driving record search, For military veterans, disagreement between your MedXPress application and your VA disability ratings often earns a letter from the FAA. With holding important information. Just waht we need more busybodys like you who cant mind their own business. It was OK to fly without government harassment. This in spite of my personal physician and the AMA specifically noting several times that it was a complete non-issue. One change I would like in the current procedure for the special issuance is to have my AME rather than those in Oklohoma City decide if I am healthy enough to fly. If he admits it and is taking an approved medication, there are a few extra steps but he will maintain his medical. Anyway I am long through flying now. I always had to do a stress test, but starting 2 years ago, that has been expanded to require radionuclide scintigraphy every other year. My first experience with an AMI was when I applied for a job with the government and was required to take a physical exam. If your AME does not spot anything on your physical exam, you have a clean driving record and you have never served in the military, chances are that the FAA will not question the information you submit in MedXPress. All pilots know that after taking the physical they self-certify before every flight for the next year or two. Anonomous, It is strongly advised that you seek the opinion and advice of a qualified aviation medical examiner and appropriate medical physician for any medical needs you may have. Really? You get caught lying on a medical, they'll do a lot more than just bust your balls. As statistics show flying is considerably safer than any land based carrier. I found their reaction to my sleep apnea to be too late, ineffective, and over reacting. Anyway if your willing I have a ton of questions for you. The issue is what we feel is important, because the government wants a complete history and providing it isnt possible and pilots are going to make their own judgements about whats truly important to fully disclose. BINGO! Why do we have a federal bureaucracy policing such a low number of casualties? Should I expect the FAA to understand my circumstance if theyre going to pull a pilots ticket for marital counseling? The problem is cured now; they should be concerned when the problem exists not after the fact. About a week before I was suppose to be soloed I went for my medical and was told by my AME that I cant fly because I take adderal. Actually, in some years there are 0 attributed to sudden incapacitation, such as heart attack or stroke. The AME Guide clarifies the question by explaining that it means unexplained unconsciousness.. Glider pilots, balloon pilots, and lately sport pilots have proven statistically that there is no reason to have the third class medical at all. you disclose something that warrants further information or investigation, or something happens to you like an accident, incident, or disciplinary action which the FAA will then thoroughly investigate. As John and Dickie do point out, there are rules and hence bureaucracy in place to protect the masses. The Third Class is an absolute joke. Ultimately, a FAA medical denial for ADHD is almost never the end of the road for an airman. I disclosed everything on my original medical as a student pilot. The airman who never was on medication for depression and certinatly never had a hospitible addmitance was now having to prove a negative. Have you ever been dizzy etc. A wise man once said to me that the more you tell them the more you with have to sit through. A large gray area separates these two extremes, however. Ive no choice but be truthfull,but I am sure Ive flown with other pilots who are afraid of admitting or just dont admit that they are not fit to fly themselves or their passengers safely.Does that ache youve been noticing or even worse ignoring mean something? Id rather be flying but I dont require the FAAs approval for my activities. The FAA medical certification process has at times made me feel that I was in actual hell. I believe you are mis-informed; as long as I hold a once valid third class medical and a valid drivers license, and have not had a third class medical that disqualified me since that qualifying medical exam, Im eligible to fy Sport!I refer you to the following links: http://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/medical_certification/sportpilots/response2/, http://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/medical_certification/sportpilots/, This is a common misunderstanding. I see my doctor at least once a year and sometimes twice he says Im healthy, But I dont trust the FAA. We have an entrenched bureaucracy that refuses to relinquish power and money. In this age of fax machines, email, twitter, facebook, linked in, etc, it is obvious that the FAA is stuck in the past. This is truly a Great Debate. Meanwhile the FAA now sits on thier collective thumbs deciding what to do. To stay current, I have been renting/flying 152s and 172s with an instructor, but that is very expensive too (the inclusion of the instructor, that is). I am hoping that they do the right thing when it comes to my health assessment. As for lying on the medical form, lies can be undiscovered for a lifetime of flying, but if there is an incident or accident, the FAA and/or NTSB will dredge up every doctor visit, medication, hospitalization they can. Beyond criminal penalties and keeping your pilots license, there are many other reasons to be forthright with your FAA Aviation Medical Examiner (AME), but for now just as a thought experiment consider that you choose to falsify your medical certificate application. Lets analyze how you got to a denial and what can be done to appeal the denial. If I continue to wish to fly.I had better take care of myself by good nutrition and exercise..on the issue of lying no, I would not lie because not only is it stupid it is cause for losing the ticket. He refused to take the physical his business required because his family had a history of heart trouble, he was a bit overweight, etc. Wouldn't it be nice if, when you opened up Med Expres, all the information that you had included in your last application was there for reference. And even if you assume not, an investigation will cause a demand to produce documents and then the liar is cooked. I am probably am the only one who will answer that I like to go for the medical because if forces me to go to the doctor. One comment referenced the fact that we dont have to have a medical to operate a car or any other type of transportation vehicle. What objective proof can they present that Im actually depressed or for that matter no longer depressed that would otherwise qualify me for a medical? Question 18m. He then went on to work for the leading aviation magazines, including as editor of both AOPA Pilot and Flying. I dont want to hide anything from him. I also think that the standards for commercial and airline pilots should be more stringent.. The AME can comment on the problem stating that it no longer exists and you are not on medication in the comments section on the 8500-8 and submit it along with the note from your counsellor to the FAA and go ahead and issue your Medical Certificate. Anyone who would report this immediately loses their medical and has to wait a year. Im sorry to hear about your bad experience. I stopped learning to fly as I did not have the additional funds to have the CAA medical. Needless to say, I passed. 2. Try walking in my shoes and you will not agree with that statement. Flying brought some much needed joy back into my life. Gets Weekends Off . This is nothing but government bureaucracy. Emmons wait until you have an episode of situational hypertension or have to see a marriage counselor. Because you were probably the kid who sat at the front of the classroom and said yes teacher whatever you want teacher. Youre making a mistaken assumption that its never a safety issue. A manager at a Fisdo reported to CAMI that an airman was on medication and had a long hospotible stay. What does this mean? In my opinion the medical standards of evaulating pilots needs to be changed in light of new treatments. I am all in favour of your own doctors certificate of good health. The best advice we can give you is to visit an aviation medical examiner (AME). Much is right there too, but that practice detracts from an otherwise good performance. Remember that most pilots who have lost their medicals because they lied are probably not around here to talk about it. Now you tell me how sad it is when an idiot declares you have daltonism and denies you the ability to fly, so ruining your dream forever. Those marathons at age 26 paid off. Ask those young people who posted personal info online and then got turned down for a job interview because of those posts they placed years ago. When learning to fly originally I was not even made aware this nor the NPPL was available. How is THAT not a red flag to someone??? Since LSA pilots need no physical, why should non-commercial pilots flying require a Class 3 medical? Have tried the polite calling routine, found they will lie to you, one time the lady told me my SI was approved & mailed 2 days prior, when I finally got it 3 weeks later the post mark date proved they had lied. I WAS A BIRD DOG PILOT IN VIETNAM FOR 3+ YEARS WHEN I WAS SENT TO THE DECK BY SMALL ARMS FIRE. Let me start with a word of advice: DONT DO IT. Coud be they are asking to much, to elimate the third class medical?. But it doesnt because the public wouldnt tolerate it. One way is by lying. you say he flys solo whats it to you, Gee I fell out of bead a week ago and wacked my head I wonder if I should tell the FAA. Im a depressed individual Ive been formally diagnosed with dysthemic disorder, a long-term, low grade version of chronic depression that isnt helped with medications. On the other hand, the FAA medical system is complex, expensive, and difficult to support with data showing lives saved, etc. I was just having so much fun and I didnt realize just how difficult it was going to be. I Fly America 2021, Paul Engstrom, Aviation Writer and IFA Member, Health for Pilots: A Complete Guide to FAA Medical Certification and Self-Care. Just do want everyone does to get into the military hide the truth. For pilots with health problems that aren't debilitating but possibly disqualifying, 'fessing up on the application for a third class medical certificate can be a busted-if-you-do, busted-if-you-don't proposition. It doesnt work like that in mental health cases, and probably never will. What you didnt? You can mail or fax your request for aircraft records or Request Copies of Aircraft Records online. If a question comes up about whether or not a pilot is qualified to hold an FAA medical certificate, the application itself usually does not contain enough information for AMCD to make a truly informed decision. One will get a license. Some justify white lies by rationalizing they would just be wasting everyones time and effort by disclosing minor issues. Period. Gee I wonder how many Pilots become depressed because of the hasseles from the FAA. My understanding is that the FAA cannot see your personal medical records without your permission so how are guys getting caught. But WHILE it is a problem for the flier, not after it is treated. There, see you did lie on your medical didnt you. Re test. Its not a profession which that college students wake up and decide they want to fly a plane. In-case if you ever get into an accident the FAA/NTSB will look through all your medical history and do a thorough check on that pilot meaning they want to look at every doctor visit and all medications you have been on. Im still going to try to jump through the medical hoops because I love to fly. Obviously, many do. In other words, bigger name on the other line. If I remember correctly, being off antidepressant medication for 6 months or longer makes the problem that required the medication no longer an issue. So, instead of less regulation, we need more and along with that comes enforcement. If you have ever been denied a medical, you still cannot go in and just use your drivers license. While not endorsing that, it is understandable at the emotional level. What most folks dont realize is that less than 1% of medical applications are denied whether it be for diabetes or criminal record. See Also: Do Flight Schools Drug Test Students? 6 months and 2 weeks earlier I had one done for a Peace Corps application and sent that in, which would have been good for 2 years. Holy hell!

Thank you for the post. However, if you do get caught, at best you will lose your license. If you have determined that you are not healthy enough to fly sport, then you have done exactly what the Sport program is intended to do; leave the decision to the pilot. Compared to all causes of death, these are infinitesimal numbers. All because of a blood pressure medication I put on my 2012 medical form. After 7 years and three more third class medicals-the FAA medical office suddenly decided I had 30 days to provide all the records from a condition I had 20 years ago, or have my medical suspended. The odds of a passenger catching Covid-19 on a flight and dying from the virus are less than one in half a million. Lie, definitely not. PO Box 882196 Your email address will not be published. There are about 450-500 fatalities per year in all of GA. Misdiagnosed with epilepsy. Should that person be allowed to self-certified medically and carry as many as 5 passengers? Many of the requirements for special issuance for example are redundant and simply bureaucratic paper chases. Federal Air Surgeon Jon Jordan is very aware of the FAA fear factor among pilots who worry about the potential consequences of filling out the form truthfully. No further action by AWP-300. My ex lied and never mentioned it. PERIOD. But Jordan also said: 'Folks need not be overly concerned about losing their medical certificate, as we end up disqualifying very few when you look at the total number of applicants.'. Mr. Diabetes can still legally fly as a sport pilot. One may invoke Fifth Amendment rights, but not outright lie. My AME is like a brother to me and a damn good doc to boot Lamentably, if I have something which could be a liability to me on my next medical, I can not ask my AME/best friend about my problem, and discuss it with him.
