"Conviction" means any judgment of guilt based on a jury, court, or military verdict, a plea of guilty, or a plea of nolo contendre/no contest.
Since I had pleaded no contest.
Better ask an aviation lawyer.
I would think that a no contest plea is not automatically a conviction unless the judge assigns a conviction. If the judge dismissed the charges I don't think that's a conviction. Might be a legal nuance.
I'm guessing the FAA would have flagged it by now if it had popped up on any federal database (unlikely since this is a low-grade misdemeanor).
