Just FYI. Time frame for medical deferral review is looking to be about 6 weeks.
I received the medical deferral letter from the FAA. My initial AME application was deferred on 1/7/22, and I received the letter today, 2/16/22. So almost 6 weeks for the FAA to review and send out a letter. Hopefully I can get everything together for them next week. If I can't get a special issuance, then my dreams of flying will die in short order.

Status Update for anyone that is keeping track. I spoke with the Aero Medical Center and was told that my documents are now being reviewed. Here is my timeline so far.
12-30-21 - AME Exam deferal; 2-16-22 - Received Letter with required documentation; 3-2/22 - FAA received my documentation and medical tests; 5-2-22 - Spoke with Aero Medical and was told that documents had been scanned in but not set for review yet; 5-13-22 - Spoke with Aero Medical and was told that documents are under review and to call back every week or two.
Keeping my fingers crossed.
Here’s another way to have that $100 hamburger flight. Take a fold up bike and explore the bike trails near an airport. I have collected a list of airports with easy access to bike trails. http://www.rovingbits.com/FlyBike/FlyBike.html and I just made this Google Maps based version http://www.rovingbits.com/FlyBike/FlyBikeMap.html
Updates are welcomed. Enjoy.
This is great information. One of the reasons I am looking to get a PPL is to be able to enter Enduro Mountain Bike races that are further away than I am willing to drive. Having a list of trails near GA airports is awesome.
