Has anybody got any insight to a new alleged requirement to carry not only a medical certificate properly annotated by your AME but to also carry the Letter from the FAA AeroMed HQ outlining the Special Issuance authority when operating outside the USA, specifically in any other ICAO airspace?
My company has made this requirement an SOP, but I have not revieved any formal notification of such from OKC, and I am trying to find the genisis of said requirement.
If you don't know what this is about, consider your self lucky, otherwise anyone with real knowledge about this feel free to respond.
I did post this on Medical as well, but the relevance here is as follows:
If this is true, and you are on a trip today outside CONUS, and you get ramped by a foreign Aviation inspector, and you don't have this letter with you, are you at risk, or does my company have this wrong?
This borders on possible ADA violations, IMHO
Thanks
