[net.aviation] 3rd Class Medical

marcum@fortune.UUCP (06/08/83)

I am at the tail end of a (probably) successful struggle with
ye ol' Federal Air Surgeon for my medical, and was wondering
if others have any experience speeding up the red tape?  I
was disqualified for Diabetes Mellitus, which I don't have,
and none of the sysmptoms, either.  (Bassically, my AME blew
it!)

Reply to me, and I'll summarize to the net.

P.S.  Part of my solution has been to continue my ("pre-solo")
training anyway, to the point of some 70 hours and 2 ILSs
pre-solo.  Anyone out there with similar issues, KEEP FLYING!
