I did pull up an alleged AOPA page that stated that people with degenerative disc disease will have to take a flight check. The article ran this together with people with prostetics. I am not sure this article was correct.
So, is it possible to get past the AME with degenerative disc disease without a flight check or special issuance? This is of course with a letter stating narcotics no longer used, and operative report from Doctor. Further check by AME to ensure through axam that all is OK. Yes? No?
You did answer my earlier post. I am just clearing up that an AME may issue on the spot without the added threat of flight check or special issuance.
