The FAA and myself would both have our attorneys present at the hearing and both sides would present their case. Afterwards the AJ would make a ruling based on the evidence (examinations, assessments, diagnosis & opinions within my medical file) and the FAR's.

Also, I have the choice of having the hearing anywhere I choose. If it comes to that, I'll have it in Miami.

I had no idea that the NTSB has a role in medical matters. Thanks for the info.
