Looks like if I get it (I did submit my last two sleep apnea tests that said I didn’t have it to the va) I have to inform faa and have 90 days to show treatment works. That doesn’t seem so bad. I’ve done 4 tests over the years for the military where they gave me the okAy to Fly. Initial. The second said I was on edge of even needing coal and let two, again saying I didn’t have.
I think it was more of a weight issue as I lost weight and that’s when they said I was good. This is what docs said also. Another point I’ve made while being treated is I get up at night at times to give my special needs kid meds, etc as a possible reason for tiredness which the docs also agreed. I’ve since worked out his daily routine to allow a full night sleep.
I talked to many faa ame’s about this and they all just said I’d be fine and worse case get a special issuance.
