Suggest you contact the AOPA medical department and get
their professional advice. I would not depend on the AME
[your doctor] to know or follow up with all the details
requested without guidance.

Failing to have a reply in to the FA within the 30 days can
be assumed to be your formal dropping of the issue and
result in loss of the medical certificate. The information
provided on the medical application and the results of the
examination is what prompted the request for more details.

| Got two more years on my Class III medical in December.
Now I get a
| letter from the FAA asking for more information about
blood pressure
| readings, meds, etc. Of course I'd provided all requested
information
| to the aero-med guy in December; evidently he didn't
forward it, or
| didn't know he was supposed to. (I thought the aero-med
folks just
| used their discretion!)I am supposed to respond within 30
days.
|
| I faxed the letter to the aero-med doc, and he called back
and asked
| further questions (did I smoke; what did my parents die
of, etc) and
| said he'd take care of it.
|
| Now should I:
|
| 1) assume that he is indeed taking care of it (he's a
pilot; aero-med
| work is now his only practice, which he pursues part time
in
| retirement; he's been my flight surgeon for six years)?
|
| 2) write a collateral letter to the FAA on my own account?
|
| Thanks!
