These are obtained either through possibily your treating OSA sleep apnea doctor OR the DME provider can as well, log into whatever website is applicable to your case for these reports. These must be submitted once each year. Secondly, whoever is your sleep apnea treating physician, have him write a letter after your annual examination with his results, that you successfully tolerate CPAP treatment, and this is important for the FAA and MUST state NO DAYTIME Hypersomnolence OR NO DAYTIME SLEEPINESS present. Also, the FAA has a 3 answer mini form checklist to fill out and send this back in once a year. It just basically says that you say you're under successful CPAP treatment. Believe me when I say that I have been successfully navigating this SH** while learning EVERY nuance since about 17 yrs. ago being diagnosed with mild OSA sleep apnea. I was however, out of flying for roughly 4 weeks initially when I learned I was diagnosed with it. The good news is this. As long as your sleep apnea is controlled to the acceptable FAA AME Guide standards, it still is allowed to fly with. It has to be pretty severe before you're hard downed, really. Good luck! I'd be happy to provide you with anything else you might need. Including a world renown sleep apnea doctor, professor and chief. He has been super!
