Hi:

Well is a new year' thanks to all of you that during this ordeal have given

me a lot of good information and moral support.

The reason for posting more details of my experience, is to help those who

might someday find themselves in my situtation..

My medical was to be renewed at end of July 04..So I thought I would be smart

I take my medical earlier, which I did, first week of July had the Medical.

Same day, I personally, mailed the medical records I had, which were two pages

both Lab work, one for the liver fuction, I take lipitor (the only thing I take)

the other page for the heart electrolites or whatever...

Also, I fax them, with a note, the medical was completed etc..

One month past, then I called FAA., the answer, could not find any records, to

wait.

I will not bore you with all the details that happened during the next two

months, you would not believe me any how, the answers I got from FAA, The

fact is that at the end of September, they said, never received papers...

nor even the fax....

Here is when I learn,,I decided to call AOPA for the first time...

they aske me then to send them copies of everything I had sent to FAA, including

cover letters etc...which I did ( I do not know if one should send

all medical records to them, but they asked for so I did)

2- They asked that I mail everything again to FAA, but this time register

mail, return receipt, and not to the P.o. Box but to the Macarthur,BLVd.

address.

IN four days I got the signed recipt, and 2 weeks later got first reply

from FAA..

So there you are, Send everything certified, and call Aopa right at the

beginning...

During the next months, they keep asking form more things, including

things they had, from last renewal, maybe they do not keep records?

I had to get records, all, from 3 years ago.

Finally on November of 04, they asked that I take an Echo Cardiogram,

which I completed in December, it was mailed Registered, copy to Aopa.

Why the did not asked for it, back in August?

So here I am, seven months, no being able to fly, the worst part is that

I was in the middle of my test flights, needed 40 hours...

I hope that one will go thru this, you would not believe the way FAA works

the answers I got, are unreal... by the way how is that my mail was lost, but

the AMA, mail which is not sent register, never gets lost ????

Happy Flying to all....

Bert,

Good luck, keep after them.

FYI - If you still file taxes via the U.S. postal service, send that stuff

registered receipt too. IRS can loose paperwork too, first hand experience.

Your experience is SOP for the FAA. Every time they implement a new

program to reduce the backlog and get organized---it gets worse.
