 |
|
Since I have been informed that I cannot pass my medical, I am forced to abandon my RV 7 project and have a wing kit for sale. It has not been started and is still in the original shipping crate. I am asking $5200 for it, which was the price from Van's when I bought it, but will consider reasonable offers. The current price at Van's was $5800 the last time I checked.
I also have a lot of miscellaneous items - instruments, elevator electric trim kit, wet vacuum
pump, air/oil separator, empennage fairing, and probably a few other small things lying around.
Please call or email if you need any of these.
Do not archive.

Jim. If you really DO want to fly, don't be so quick. It's a fairly common thing, actually, to not be able to pass a medical per se, but then receive a medical certificate under special issuance. I haven't "lost" my medical yet...mostly because I haven't told the FAA about my Meniere's Disease. I have grounded myself and I am working to improve the situation. But in my case, once you've got it, it's a disqualifying medical condition. Case closed, right? Not necessarily. The fact the local AME can't sign off a medical doesn't mean you can't fly. You just have to convince Okhlahoma City to grant you one under special issuance. That's a pain in the neck but -- again in my case -- buys me a little more time to (a) work the bureacracy and (b) come up with the dough to finish the plane.
Like I said, consider waiting a bit and finding out more about your chances of flying before you give up.
Sure, the FAA is a pain in the neck, but believe me, it's nothing compared to the "tire kickers" in the RV community who will waste your time and offer you 20 cents on the dollar for your project.
One other thing, let's assume you can't even get a special issuance...why not build the plane anyway and sell it. You'll have fun building it, and you'll get more money back?

Be sure you are working with a SENIOR Medical Examiner. They have a lot
more latitude in making local determinations and seem to require less
oversight from Oklahoma City.

Jim,
I also highly recommend finding a "consultant" AME to discuss your
situation. This is NOT the AME to whom you go for your actual medical
exam. The value is that you can have a candid discussion about your
total situation and it is in confidence. You cannot do this with the AME
to whom you are submitting your medical application. He/she is required
to factor any information you give them into the evaluation.
As Steve mentions, going to a senior AME has advantages. Also, as I
learned at OSH this year during the FAA seminar on medicals, there are
many AMEs who don't seem to know what conditions they can approve on the
spot without a special issuance. It is best to research the situation on
the FAA web site and find that consultant AME to learn exactly what
hoops you have to jump through to get it done.
Good luck,
Joe

Also, you may wish to wait on the Medical. One of our EAA chapter
members who is an AME mentioned that FAA is going to start allowing
AME's to grant some special issuances. I'm not aware of the details at
all, but it may be something worth checking into.
