Good news... I PASSED!!! Went to get my Aviation medical exam this morning for Class 1 pilot certificate and passed with flying colours. One more thing out of the way.
The medical exam consisted of your basic physical, vision, movement, coordination, balance, getting groped by the doctor an coughing a couple times....
The only thing I still have to clear is my sleep apnea issue. The doc tells me that I need to get something from my physician stating that my sleep apnea is not an issue and that I no longer have issues with hypertension or elevated blood pressure.
Once I get this I should be good to go.
(See link for details on this: http://www.avscholars.com/AvScholars/Channels/Learn_to_Fly/medicals.htm)
TSA finally emailed me back stating they have accepted my application and that I can now take the next step to get finger printed. Kinda like saying "oh, I trust you... but we want your finger prints just in case..." oh well, what can you say, It's the government, you can't blame them for being paranoid.
I can't be too hard on them, they did respond in a decent amount of time, for a government organization that is.
In any case, once I get my fingerprint cards from my flight school, I can go and get inked and then I can officially start my flight training.
More to follow soon... hopefully.
