Jordynne Grace Says Her Pilot’s License Process Was Disqualified Due to ADHD

Jordynne Grace Jordynne Grace has been trying to get her pilot’s license but found out that her ADHD diagnosis is standing in the way of that. Grace revealed in May that she had passed her FAA Airman Knowledge Test to get her pilot’s license, which she is seeking in order to take part in Pilots N Paws which sees volunteer pilots fly abandoned pets from kill shelters and rescue groups to get them to safe shelters and forever homes.

Grace posted to Facebook to note that she went to get her FAA medical clearance but learned that she was disqualified due to ADHD. She wrote:

“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.”
