You are correct, Dan. According to OpenAI and a bunch of sources, the real number of pilots walking out with their medical certificates might be closer to 85%–90%, not the 95% the FAA claims. That means more pilots could hit roadblocks under the FAA’s new policy. Instead of just holding things up for more paperwork, incomplete applications will now get a flat-out denial. This change could leave a lot more pilots grounded for longer stretches, which is exactly what’s got folks like the EAA and AOPA worried. Even the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has flagged problems with how the FAA handles medical certification, pointing out delays, lack of transparency, and outdated systems. The result? More pilots being stuck on the ground.
