FAA Class 3 and medication for depression
I did my FAA PPL in 2005 with a view to taking it further, but eyesight put paid to that so I only held a Class 3 medical.
I haven't flown since 2006 so my medical and license both need renewing, so I was thinking of taking a couple of weeks holiday to spend some time with a school and get everything back up to date.
However, for the past 6-7 years, I've been taking a medication for mild depression (been stable for years) and I understand it's likely to cause some complications. It's not a banned medication, but the FAA guidance online says it has to be taken into consideration.
I'm now a bit concerned that I won't be able to just get the medical certificate in an afternoon like I did last time...
I'm sure in the end, they will most likely grant me the certificate, but I'm not sure how it will work if I'm only in the USA for a week or so...
I'm a bit stumped as to what to do now, anyone got any suggestions?!
Is it possible to get an FAA medical done anywhere in the UK?
