Take care of your health first. After things have settled down and you are doing well, hopefully after 3-4 months, start accumulating ALL of your records, get a CD rom copy of your cath in your possession, obtain a cardiac stress test at six months out from your heart attack, see your AME at six months post event for your medical. You will need a cath at six months if you want a full 2nd class. Your AME can facilitate things at this point, and if everything is sent in timely and is favorable, I would expect your medical to be issued three months from the submission of the medical or about nine months from your heart attack. Remember The FAA is not happy until you are not happy. Matt Miriani AME 80% IVP """ Sorry to hear you had to go through a bypass, but it's good to hear you're doing well. I had the same thing a little over three years ago. Getting the medical back isn't hard if you've been exercising, walking is really good, so you can get your heart rate up during a treadmill stress test. Mostly it's just paperwork. AOPA has an excellent step by step description of what you need to do on their website. If memory serves you have to wait until 6 months after the procedure before applying for a special issuance. Once the FAA has the paperwork it will take 2 to 3 months for it to flow through their papermill. """
