Jordynne Grace Gives Update On Her Pilot’s License Progress

Jordynne Grace shares an unfortunate update on her quest to get her pilot’s license.

After passing her FAA Airman Knowledge Test, Grace went to get her FAA medical clearance. Unfortunately, she was disqualified due to an ADHD diagnosis. She noted she is in the process of resubmitting her application.

She posted the following update on Facebook:

On May 21st, I went to get my FAA medical clearance to fly because I had my first solo flight coming up. Unfortunately, I was not aware an ADHD diagnosis was a disqualifying condition for pilots. I’m currently in the process of resubmitting my application, but it is a long, invasive, expensive process. You’re required to discontinue your medication for 90 days (and then forever) to get a neuropsych evaluation done. This is a $5,000 test and includes 8-10 hours of testing to essentially prove you can function without ADHD symptoms efficiently while not medicated.

I feel very disappointed and defeated right now, but I’m cautiously optimistic that this will all seem like a slight speed bump at some point down the road.

Jordynne Grace has stated that she is looking to help Pilots N Paws, an organization where volunteer pilots provide Freedom Flights flying abandoned animals from kill shelters to rescue groups or their forever homes nationally.
