So an instructor coworker of mine made a big mistake and solo'd a student WITHOUT endorsing the medical. Long story but the student got a medical in scotland, had it on the way in the mail or something like that, but come to find out the medical is NOT a student medical. Its a first class without the student portion, so nowhere to put the instructor endorsement for solo flight. So the student now has to go get a NEW medical. So the medical date will be POST solo flight, obviously not good. My opinion is the instructor needs to fess up to the FAA ASAP and say hey i screwed up what do i need to do and go from there. Any other words of advise? What will punishment be do you think? Also, this is a good 141 school that tries to do things right... think there will be any punishment from FAA to the school?

Please, i say again PLEASE, refrain from any flaming comments towards the instructor. Good guy and a good instructor with an honest mistake. Constructive posting only please
