Go to FAA.gov and start reading about the medical requirements.

Hint: It isn't quite so easy as presenting CAMI a note from your doctor and presto you're flying the next day Let me be the first to GUARANTEE you that your confidence in your ability to fly means nothing to CAMI.

D2D presents the same thoughts to you as the rest of us but in a *nicer* way ; then again that poster is fairly new to the forums and hasn't been asked nor answered the same questions a hundred times over and over yet either.

D2D - did I read somewhere that you went to the Naval Academy?
Were you/or are you aviation rated? If you are/were in aviation then you undoubtedly came across NAMI and know that CAMI is the civilian equivalent. I doubt the dreaded *CAMI whammy* can be circumnavigated as easily as is being thought of above. Agreed?
