I understand that an AME can't issue me a certificate if I don't have the required medical documentation described in my special issuance. Any insight is greatly appreciated!
DO NOT! Do not show up to your AME without the proper documentation. Just let your medical expire until you are ready. Once you have it go in and get your medical. Having it lapse is no big deal, having them not issue can be a big deal. Mine expired waiting for the same reason.
