Episode Notes

You're ready to start flight training, but you have concerns about your health and your medical eligibility to fly. Where do you go for help? We try to answer some of your questions here.

While Derek is not a doctor of AME (Aviation Medical Examiner), he's seen a lot of things while giving flight training and is able to provide some basic guidance. Medical issues can certainly be a touchy subject with complex solutions. We hope to dispel some incorrect assumptions and myths with this episode.

If you have any questions or concerns about your medical eligibility to fly airplanes, please be sure to consult with qualified medical personnel.
