Contact the regional medical examiner, contact the AOPA [you
are or should be a member] and follow up within the 30 days.
Sooner the better.
Did you keep copies of all the paperwork you took to the
AME?

and the

It's now

saying that they
| didn't receive the extra paper work (I am certain my ME
screwed up).
| The letter says that 'This is not a denial but I have 30
days to send
| the paper work before the application is denied'. My ME's
office
| says not to worry that even though my current medical runs
out in
| several days the letter gives me a 30 day grace period.
This doesn't
| sound right to me because the letter says the
"application" will be
| denied and mentions nothing about my current medical.
Anyone have any
| experience with this? Does this mean I have to keep the
letter with me
| in case of a ramp check? I think the ME is giving me a
line of crap to
| cover their screw up.
