Don't anyone fall for the OP's app or the information provided on his website link. They are trolling for pilot dollars based on fear and misinformation while providing just enough truth to worry some.
The website and his posts imply to find out your OSA status before you visit your AME and you'll fall into spec sheet A territory and thus, not have any time off. Wrong. The moment you are notified of having OSA via a sleep assessment, you're grounded, until you follow the FAA procedures. Thus, you can't visit them first to determine OSA status, get it "fixed", and then on your medical tell the FAA you're good to go! If anyone did this, they'd be in SERIOUS hot water as they would have flown after being notified of an FAA disabling condition before receiving FAA approval to return to flying.
Do yourself a favor and read the information in the link I posted in post 2. It is THE same guide the AME has received from the FAA.
This is his website's information:
Decision B- Decide to be evaluated and possibly treated for OSA prior to the AME exam. Spec Sheet A will be issued and in this case as long as the sleep study has been performed prior to presenting to the AME , a medical certificate will be issues with the condition that all appropriate information pertaining to the diagnosis and treatment be provided within 90 days of the AME evaluation. Thus the course of action is predetermined, no risk exists of having lapses in medical certificate validity.
Either way The Fly-in Fly-out program, takes the uncertainty out of the entire process. From start to completion of the SI, you will be handled by experts in the process of SI for pilots with sleep apnea. In most cases no time off work will be required . The process of diagnosis, treatment and documentation of effective compliance is consolidated in a very short time span, making the risk and uncertainty of successful special issuance very low.
The "doc's" Decision B is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG...don't fall into the trap this self-serving poster has provided. Your medical WILL be impacted if you have a sleep study that documents OSA and you don't ground yourself right away. And, would you really trust them providing information for SI (Special Issuance) when their information is rife with errors already?
