Hello, I recently got into a school with an aviation program and am concerned with receiving my medical. I have a history of substance abuse, ages 20-26, attended a long term treatment in 2015 for 15 months, and was completely abstinent for 2.5 years. I just recently got a citation for...

I'd like to get back into recreational flying after getting over a very difficult time in my life related to alcoholism. If BasicMed certification is something I could easily obtain, I'd like to go for it. If not, then I'm going to forget the whole idea of flying again on my own. I just want to...

I'm applying for a 1st class. I'm not sure if I should list my daily dose of kratom I take nearly every day. I do take some supplements like niacin, NAC (for liver). I will need to double check with the doctor tomorrow I guess?
