Anyone else have any recent timelines to report? How long is DC taking on average?
The time taken in DC seems to depend upon the condition being reviewed. The FAA doesn't know how close I was to going to my congressman.
From the time of initial submission to approval for special issuance was just under a year. But, I was also proving I was misdiagnosed with a heart condition I don't have. A big part of the problem is I am healthy. Proving such appears to be a bigger challenge than having a problem which can be corrected via medication or surgery.
