Howdy,
There as been a dicussion at the place at work and we don't seem to be getting anywhere, maybe somebody here will have a good insight or suggestions.
One of the instructor got a medical on 11-16-2002, a first class (edit: he is less then 40 years old). During an instructor dicussion/bs session, we were talking about medicals and he realized he had been flying a year without a medical.... he got his last medical was 11-10-2006, four years apart... talk about a "ooops" and "oh sh*t!"
So now the debate is whether to tell the FAA about it and get a slap on the hand or just keep quiet.... My belief is that the FAA will find out because on the application forms its asks how many hours you have flown in the last six months (Don't know how many hours he put, but he did put some hours in that column, so he basically admits that he has flown without a medical...) so I say call the FSDO and be honest, some say stay under a rock.
So does the FAA actually check that stuff?
What would you guys, and ladys, side on this matter?
