I retired a year ago from a part 121 carrier and was in the HIMS program. I was in the advanced phase of my SI and submitted my request to FAA for my medical records to be sent to my new HIMS AME so he could continue my monitoring etc. I never received my records and I retired before I had my new HIMS AME approved by FAA. My medical was withdrawn and I am attempting to get a class 3 for now. I am working with my new HIMS AME and I am doing random testing. The FAA contacted me in Jan. requesting a update status report from my AME which we submitted. Q: If my medical is approved will I have to start the program over i.e. phase one? I was "un-monitored" after I retired despite notifying the FAA 2 months prior to the actual retirement date and because of paperwork delays I never had a "seamless" transition to my new HIMS AME... thanks for any input
