PLT HAS MEDICAL PROB THAT RESULTS IN LOSS OF MEDICAL CERTIFICATE.

Narrative

ABOUT 9 MONTHS AFTER A CLASS II PHYSICAL; A REGULAR COMPANY REQUIRED PHYSICAL EXAM DETECTED THAT I HAD AN ARTERIAL FIBRILLATION CONDITION. I WENT TO A CARDIOLOGIST AS SUGGESTED. THE CONDITION WAS CTLED WITH MEDICATION. HE SAID THAT I JOINED THE OTHER 2.3 MILLION AMERICANS WITH THIS CONDITION. I ASKED HIM ABOUT FLYING. HE SAID THAT MY CONDITION WAS NOT OF ANY CONCERN RELATIVE TO MY FLYING. THE MEDICATIONS ARE ON THE APPROVED LIST. THUS; I CONTINUED TO FLY. I LET MY CLASS II PHYSICAL LAPSE TO BECOME A CLASS III AS I HAD OFTEN DONE SINCE I DON'T FLY AS A COMMERCIAL PLT ANYMORE. WHEN I WENT FOR A NEW PHYSICAL; THE AME GAVE ME A LIST OF MEDICAL INFO THAT I NEEDED TO OBTAIN FROM THE CARDIOLOGIST. HE SAID HE WOULD HAVE TO SEND IT IN WITH MY MEDICAL APPLICATION. THAT INFO WAS SENT WITH THE APPLICATION A FEW WKS LATER IN APRIL 2006. I HEARD NOTHING FROM OKLAHOMA CITY UNTIL JUN/XA/06 ACKNOWLEDGING RECEIPT OF THE MEDICAL APPLICATION SENT IN APRIL! ON JUN/XK/06 I RECEIVED A REQUEST FOR MORE MEDICAL INFO AS WELL AS A REQUEST TO '...PROVIDE A PERSONAL STATEMENT REGARDING THE 210 HRS OF LOGGED FLT TIME AFTER A DIAGNOSIS OF A DISQUALIFYING GENERAL MEDICAL CONDITION; ARTERIAL FIBRILLATION; IN VIOLATION UNDER TITLE 14; CODE OF FARS (CFR'S) REVISED PART 61.53.' I WAS NEVER AWARE THAT THIS CONDITION IS A PROB RELATIVE TO MY FLYING AND I STILL AM NOT AWARE THAT IT IS. I HAD NO OUTWARD SYMPTOMS PRIOR TO THE MEDICAL DETECTION OF THE CONDITION NOR HAVE I EXPERIENCED ANY SYMPTOMS OR PROBS SINCE THEN. INASMUCH AS THE CARDIOLOGIST ADVISED ME THAT THIS WAS NOT A PROB FOR ME THERE IS NO VIOLATION OF THE REG.
