I have seen this type of thing bite a pilot before. It was not a medical issue but a DUI that was not disclosed. It took a lawyer and quite a bit of money to clear up. I have no idea what databases my medical info goes to from my doctor but assume a lot of these data bases are cross referenced. If not now they will be in the future/

One thing to remember. If you are just doing Sport Pilot privileges as long as you have a drivers license any medical issues are irrelevant except for the caveat that if you know your issues will hinder your ability to safely operate an aircraft you can not fly. Of course that is dependent on honestly. But if you are getting your medical and withhold information and they find out later you will never fly an aircraft again as a private or sport pilot.

Problem is who really knows. If not today maybe tomorrow they will start. I would think it depended on the AME's evaluation. My son had surgery to his pancreas and gall bladder and open chest surgery due to infection. He had to supply info from his doctor, a specialist here in town, to grant him his medical. He had a complete recovery from that. So, yes they can check if they want. It is there call and name on the line.

Hello folks. Short question- Does the medical examiner have access to double-check the validity of your medical status, beyond what you tell him? IOW...maybe I "don't have a doctor", or "don't take any meds".
Pharmacy database, or what? Mark
