Left something off your MedXPress application? Don't wait for the FAA to find it. ✈️

The FAA values full, honest disclosure, but how you correct the record matters. Taking proactive steps to gather your records and update your file properly is the best way to protect your certificate before an audit happens.

We help airmen correct past omissions cleanly and safely.

Taking ADHD medication within the past 4 years? Here is what the FAA actually requires. ✈️

A past diagnosis or prior treatment isn't an automatic grounder; that’s an old aviation myth. However, navigating the clearance process requires strict compliance with current FAA protocols:

Neurocognitive Testing: Required if you've taken ADHD medication in the last 4 years.

Designated Providers: Testing must be completed by specific FAA-approved neuropsychologists using designated protocols (like the CogScreen-AE).

Clear Documentation: You must provide complete past records along with a current clinical status report.

Getting your medical certificate comes down to properly packaging your status and history.

Item 18 explicitly asks about VA disability, especially mental health diagnoses. Hiding it leads to severe delays or denials.

Dr. Courtney Scott, Former Chief of FAA Medical Certification. ✈️👨‍⚕️

At Second Chance Aviation Medicals, our strategy is built on a foundation of unmatched expert knowledge.

Before founding this practice, Dr. Scott worked within the FAA for 15 years, including several years as the Manager for the medical certification division for the entire agency.

This is the level of insight protecting your certificate. 🤝

Diagnosed with ADHD? It doesn’t mean your dream of flying is over. ✈️🧠

ADHD is one of the most common medical hurdles pilots face today, and standard testing can be both expensive and frustrating. But there’s good news: brain development shifts as we age, and the FAA’s policies have evolved to reflect that.

If you’ve been off medication for at least four years and your education or work history is stable, you may qualify for the FAA’s Fast-Track pathway. This streamlined process bypasses costly, unnecessary evaluation rounds.

And even if your initial testing didn't go as planned? That is NOT the end of the road. Through targeted cognitive rehabilitation, airmen can learn to manage their focus effectively, drastically improving re-testing results and earning their medical certificates.

Let’s find the right pathway for your case.

A heart stent or bypass surgery does not automatically mean the end of your flying career. ✈️

The FAA has different medical certification requirements depending on whether you are applying for a First-, Second-, or Third-Class Medical Certificate. Understanding which evaluations, testing, and documentation are required is an important part of moving your case forward.

At Second Chance Aviation Medicals, we help airmen understand the FAA's expectations, coordinate the required documentation, and prepare for the medical certification process after a cardiac event.

If you've experienced a heart condition and have questions about your FAA medical, we're here to help.
