DUI for pilots
I have a friend who is working on her flight training. She had just recently soloed, when she was pulled over and got a DUI. She blew in the upper bracket of offenses. Subsequently the FAA has revoked her ability to get a medical. She isn't really interested in being a Professional Pilot, but is more interested in the fun and recreation of flying. Is there any way she can appeal this or does she have to sit and wait? I suppose she is eligible to apply for a new medical in 2 years. Thanks for any input.
