Yeah, I am just blown away that it takes so long scan something into the system. Something that would take 1-2 minutes takes 1-3 weeks to get accomplished.
Just wondering if anyone knew of a way to get around that kind of bs. For example, would it help to obtain the assistance of a service like Airdocs (or other AME who specializes in dealing with the FAA)? Anyone
In case you are a member of AOPA, their FAA Medical Department can be VERY helpful. My SI case was simple, I just needed to supply CPAP data. After FAA received it, I waited a couple of weeks. Then I sought AOPA's help. I had my 3rd class medical (not yet a pro pilot) in less than a week. AOPA told me that they typically are able to get even faster response for class 1/2 cases. Hope the same method could shorten your processing time. I was VERY grateful to Marianne at AOPA.
