Does anyone know when the new Part 107 recurrent course will be available? I just took the one that I thought was it and was linked by some drone sites, but it had practically nothing on night flying other than saying that you can't do it, so it is obviously not in sync with the new regs that just went into effect. I'm trying to take the course so I can prove currency with the new regs so I can fly at night.

(I still have more than a year left on my currency at this point, but I want to be able to fly at night so I need the new course to "prove" I know how to do it.)

Hi everyone, and especially Dr. Chien,

I'm trying to get my third class medical so I can get my student certificate toward an eventual private and instrument rating.

I had ONE overt act related to depression 26 years ago and have been on medications ever since with no subsequent incidents. I'm on Celexa, which is one of the four SSRIs one can be taking and have hope of a special issuance.

I had my physical on Feb 8 and my doctor submitted my documentation after I obtained the past few years of medical records from my current PCP (I moved half-way across the country about 4 years ago). All the objective findings were well within limits even for a class 2 (I saw the chart). I would like to know what anyone who is familiar with this process would think my chances are of obtaining an SI. The nearest HIMS is about 2 hours away and the full-blown evaluation that may be required is quite expensive, and more than I want to pay if there's a good chance I won't pass anyway.

I know that anyone answering this is not my physician and is not the person at the FAA making the decision, etc. I just want to know if I have any chance of being allowed to fly manned aircraft.

Thank you.
