Listener Questions From YouTube:
I think you should do an episode with a veteran with a VA disability, who became a pilot. What was his/her obstacle to getting a 1st class medical?
Perceived Medical Challenges for Pilots:
- Perfect Eyesight is not a requirement.
- Medications you might think will prevent you from obtaining a medical.
- VA medical disability must be disclosed but most can still obtain a medical.
- Consult an AME consultant or an attorney specializing in the process.
- SSRI Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors
