FAA sending medical letter to older pilots with heart issues?
Just received a letter from the FAA saying, "We have received three documents dated October 24, 2007; however, we are still unable to establish your eligibility to hold a medical certificate."
I've had a heart murmur for about 10 years, and with echocardiogram every six months have always retained a Second Class Medical because no change has been observed. I don't fly commercially now (Navy but never airlines), so I go the two years before renewing these days.
Given that's it's been 20 months since they last looked at my medical I wonder if other pilots with heart-related issues have received such a letter, thanks to a sudden emphasis related to this Continental event. Or maybe I'm just lucky?
