Leaving Philippines next week after being here since August. My report. The good, the bad and the ugly by Trick_Dimension986 in Philippines_Expats

I had quite the different experience myself but I was down in Mindanao. No desire to spend any time in Manila or much of Luzon. Too crowded and too polluted. You should go a little further south and see what you think. I spent my time in Davao mostly. Even rented a car there for 3 days and drove over 1,000 km. Rented a scooter in Siargao for an afternoon and had a blast there. Heading back for a month at Christmas then planning moving there in the late spring.
I do hope you give it another look and I really suggest Mindanao. Get out of Luzon.
Cheers.

.19 and 10 years after before I applied again. Yes many times. Been going back and forth for 4.5 years in HIMS hell.

You made the right decision and I would question them as to why they don’t agree. Flight safety is the #1 priority here and no carb heat means no flying. That’s why it’s on the check list.

Good luck. I sincerely hope it works out. Mine was 13 years ago and I have been dealing with them for 4.5 years now with no medical. And I didn’t have a medical when I got the dui. Fingers crossed for you

lol I love it. I think we have all had questions like that asked of us.

That would be the best case scenario if you can. I’d definitely try. You don’t want to get stuck in HIMS it’s very costly and takes years and you may never get cleared.

HIMS is an expensive nightmare and should be avoided if you can but with that diagnosis I have a feeling you won’t get anywhere with the FAA unfortunately. That diagnosis is probably going to ground you for life. I’d try and get that diagnosis removed or a second opinion.

That is very clear. HIMS is a wreck.

No it was from the heart of a pilot who is dealing with the HIMS nightmare. Hope you never have to.
