That would be it for me. Lost the medical years ago. That's the reason I
became a consultant :-)


I lost my medical back in 1990 and at some point after that disappeared
from the registry, despite the old saw about being licensed for life.
When I got my medical back last month, I miraculously reappeared in the
registry.

Fifteen years ago I was a pilot, and now I are one again. G

Actually, my curiosity has been piqued by all this nonsense being thrown
out here about not being on a data base. I've given the numbers back channel
to a select few friends on the group to research and see if they can find
out the exact reason why someone.....anyone...would appear or not appear on
the data bases.

It will be interesting to know, but I'm guessing the intent is to have
only "active" pilots listed, i.e., those with current medicals. I know
that they only send the safety seminar information to those with active
medicals. I let mine lapse due to being too busy to fly a few years
ago, and I stopped getting the notices. When I inquired as to why, I
was told that they sent those only to people with current medicals.
Sure enough, I took my physical and they resumed again.
