The ADHD Fast Track is for pilots with a prior ADHD diagnosis and stable functioning who meet all FAA eligibility criteria. It includes a clinical interview and record review without cognitive testing. Report delivered in 7 days. A full neuropsychological evaluation is required for HIMS cases, substance use history, TBI, psychiatric hospitalization, and other complex review categories. It includes the CogScreen-AE Pro and a complete testing battery.

In most cases, yes. The deferral letter specifies the protocol the FAA is requesting. Completing an evaluation before that guidance is issued can result in testing that does not meet the FAA's requirements. If you are unsure whether to schedule, a brief consultation can clarify next steps.

For an ADHD Fast Track evaluation, the visit can be conducted over secure video for applicants outside Southern California. For all other evaluations, because of cognitive testing, including the CogScreen-AE Pro, the visit must be administered in person at the Newport Beach office. Most evaluations are completed in a single office visit.
